A Japanese company that makes LCDs and TVs and stuff.

They don't seem to have the hang of European style marketing yet, and think 
that a website design for a Japanese audience will also work well in Europe. 
Actually I think it's more that the IT systems worldwide are so fragmented 
that each country basically does what it thinks best with their very small 
team of people, and you end up with a load of separate websites that all 
look completely different and nobody sees the need for the .com domain. 
Occasionally someone from Japan sees one of these other websites and makes 
some demands about what should be changed, and you end up with hideous 
looking stuff.

Given that sales last year in Europe alone were several billion pounds, I 
think they should spend some money on getting their online presence 
together, but then that's just me and nobody who makes that sort of decision 
even knows I exist!
