List the crappiest websites you know here. (warning: potentially NSFW)
Stoic Joker:
Experts-exchange you can see the answers if you visit the site via google search results. Some are actually good but as far as 'business model' goes it's pretty much anti-spirit-of-internet
Does that still work? I'd read somewhere that this was because of the way that google cached the site, but they'd complained and google stopped caching certain sites.

I think all you've ever had to do is scroll to the bottom of the page to see the solutions.-mrainey (August 31, 2010, 08:06 AM)

Quite true, and there is frequently some very good (expert...) info - saved my ass more than a few times - but outside of what is chosen to "share" (try a search) you quickly get hit with their rather staggering membership fee...Yikes!
Renegade:
Experts Exchange recently changed again. (Checked them a couple days ago.) Now they've got a big DIV covering the answer... Anyone feel like breaking out Firebug and doing some HTML editing just to view a page? Didn't think so... I generally just skip over EE now and look for other sites. They have some good content, but then again so does Stack Overflow.
It's about time that they got spanked for cloaking.

When I scroll down, the solutions are visible.

for experts-exchange using noscript in firefox, or using a javascript-uninfected web browser, also works to see the answers.
ps: did you know their domain name used to be expertSexChange.com? (emphasis mine) :D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experts-Exchange
Originally, the name and URL of the site was expertsexchange.com but this created confusion and ridicule as many users interpreted it as Expert-Sex-Change as opposed to Experts-Exchange. Subsequently, the domain was changed to experts-exchange.com.[19]
