What I really miss though is a possibility to comment / discuss the examples. This could help to explain the context of the screenshot as well as discuss some examples which might be disputed.
There has been some discussion about individual items and the WOO site in general on the German forum. Most people found it rather funny and the criticism well-deserved, but some also were offended and felt that their (and their peers') hard work should be respected, not ridiculed.
I like the idea in general (even though some items were rather lame) and I noticed that many of the issues have been fixed somehow in the mean time. But there are downsides; one is that with WOO only showing things that you can see on the map and this might propagate "tagging for the renderer" (or vice versa - as long as it doesn't show up on the map you can do whatever you want). The other is that the WOO site seems to have "inspired" this guy to go on an automated "fixing" rampage, cowboy-style: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/WorstFixer/
But from the looks of it, I don't think WOO is here to stay - they are already starting to repeat themselves and I don't think that there are enough ugly things to keep them going for more than a few weeks.
