That's very annoying sign. Why it has to pulsate? That company should be fined.
- It what?
  glowing, pulsing and strobing
  Holy shit. It cycles through a bunch of animation presets like a giant fucking set of high beam Christmas lights or a modded out Nissan Z.
  In not even going to link a video, because it comes dangerously close to the photosensitive seizure threshold in some parts. Also because the video was in a tweet.
  
  was in a tweet

  Xcrements
  
  Xeets. About as thoughtful as the logo.

  Pronounced skeets

  Devoid of any personality.
  
  I love that name, I'll call it that from now on and see if it catches on

- Why it has to pulsate?
  The neighbors.
