Personally I found this page incredibly annoying to read. I have to scan down with my eyes constantly due to the crazy font size, the large spacing between lines, and the limited width.
I actually feel my eyes moving, processing every word as a result of the large size limiting my ability to process the content. The outcome is mental breaks between reading words which destroys the fluidity of the content.
In short: terrible typography in my opinion. Granted its a single opinion and I may be an outlier but between the flashing gifs and the typesetting I would never have read all the way through this unless I had the intention of commenting about it's poorness.
