As a designer this design makes me puke, crap and wee myself at the same time. While seizing.
Please make the text readable with black on white. I realize that there's plenty of pedantic crap that could be said about archaic hardware, 80 columns of text and green on black but we don't live in the 1980's anymore.;)
Same. I was doing well until I saw, "The next is a bit long", and figured to hell with it. I wasn't laughing anyway... perhaps because my eyes were bleeding.
You can make the article a bit more readable using the negative plugin of compiz-fusion (linux).
When you press superkey+n it changes to black on pink:).
Or use the "Darken" bookmarklet: javascript:(function(){var%20newSS,%20styles='*%20{%20background:%20black%20!%20important;%20color:%20grey%20!important%20}%20:link,%20:link%20*%20{%20color:%20#0000EE%20!important%20}%20:visited,%20:visited%20*%20{%20color:%20#551A8B%20!important%20}';%20if(document.createStyleSheet)%20{%20document.createStyleSheet(%22javascript:'%22+styles+%22'%22);%20}%20else%20{%20newSS=document.createElement('link');%20newSS.rel='stylesheet';%20newSS.href='data:text/css,'+escape(styles);
Yeah, but that OMG Ponies!!! pink background still wasn't attractive.;)

I only made it half way through the second paragraph before my eyes started freaking out.
If you want more than that out of me, you'll have to change the colors.

On a Mac, try "Command, Option, Control, 8" to invert the colours.
