There’s definite table action going on on that site, but also a healthy dose of irony - look at this in the source

Old skool tables were the best, think back to how easy vertical aligning was in a table cell. In CSS it’s a bloody long workaround. Think to how badly CSS is supported in IE6 (and IE7 in places).
