Bloomberg's Chart of the Day makes me think of one of my favorite Yiddish words, ungapachken. It is a combination of 'over the top' and plain old 'ugly.'

It tries to be two things at once: a bar chart showing what will affect U.K. GDP, and another bar chart showing projected a GDP. It includes the second bar chart by shifting the y axis height. It's hard to see either data series because the other gets in the way.
It also has that weird black background. I mean, why?
How would you you improve it?
