I'd like to see just how horrible someone can make a site. Facebook is a good contender.

Publisher's Clearing House.

So this company has ads on local free tv stations in the US about how you could win $5000 a week for life, but when you go to the website it's like 97% ads and maybe 2% contests, and some contests are straight up unenterable if you have an adblocker. Then before you can officially enter, you have to go through 3 pages of 'as seen on tv' crap that it tries to sell you before you can finish entering. Also it lags like a motherfucker with or without an adblocker, cause there's so many ads taking up that much bandwith, cause heaven forbid a webpage ad be a static image. And of course you have to have an account, so your spam folder and paper mailbox fill up with the worst things possible.
