Good Example of Bad UI

Don't make your users think.  It's been said over and over, and interfaces like this make it necessary to continue saying it.  This is the first time I recall seeing a slider/toggle type switch to turn something on or off.  Should I a) click the word "off"?  b) click the orange button?  c) click, hold, then slide the orange button?  d) click the gray space to the left of the orange button?  That's four reasonable and possible ways one could take this action.  And that's 4 ways to frustrate your user.
