Even without knowledge of the canon, that one is making me wince repeatedly. The punctuation is screamingly bad, and the author doesn't seem to have heard of the question mark or of ending quoted speech with punctuation.
Also, gratuitous misspellings and overly perfect nonsense in the character description.
Found whole gold mine of badfic. Numb3rs incest. Link to most explicit ones.

Lulz.
Going to be sporked.
Don't know if it's badfic. Very disturbing.

No lulz. Felt like vomiting on keyboard.
My inner Grammar Nazi is taking a chainsaw and jackhammer to my skull. I think he wants to get out and kill someone based off some of the summaries alone.
And I've never actually seen Numb3rs.
If you love math, you should watch it. If you don't, you should still watch it, because the math is very well explained (well the chars still get their geeky moments)
Well, to find badfic, just go to ff.net, pick any fandom, then ask for M-rated fics featuring two characters of the same gender. Slash ahoy!
I don't really mind slash so much (granted, it's not my bag of chips by any means, but I can handle it). What bothers me is the terrible PCGS- Punctuation, Capitalization, Grammar, Spelling- or rather lack of in many places.
It's actually not as bad as most cases, which is doubly irksome in some ways- a simple double-check could have handled all the minor mistakes and given a spotless summary.
And I just outright don't watch TV much, is all.
Which ones you think look the worst? I found a Suefic here:

Well, if I can't spork the Watchmen badfic I saw right away, I'll take this one. A pity it only got started. I love the Mary Sue's description, my Agent Krisp would be very happy to kill her. He's the Sue-icide in the group. (well, South would be happy too, he's the Grammar Nazi.)
Well, I'm not that much into slash, but it's a effective way to get BAD slash.
