MGM forgets short attention spans

'Cody Banks' sequel site is one to miss

If ... you ... had ... to ... read ... my ... column ... like ... this ... would ... you ... stick ... around?

Yet MGM expects kids, with even shorter attention spans than you and me, to stick around through snazzy animations and cross fades and unfurling virtual screens in order to find out about the sequel Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London movie.

True, the site is big, colorful, noisy and full of moderately fun doodads in addition to STCPDS, but the overall awkwardness of the interface makes this site one to miss.
