Yet another vitriolic and frankly rambling anti-Flash rant

You know, making a website entirely from Flash is the LAMEST thing in the WORLD.

All these smug little wankers sitting at their PCs getting paid a fortune to design a commercial site that thing they've made a site that makes all the little children cry with delight...

Well they cry. They cry with frustration because another wanker has made a website entirely out of flash. They don't think it's 'kewl' they think they want to slap you repeatedly for being an odious lame & tedious dickhead. For the IT community who sit with the best computers in the world it's great. Little box on their massive-res desktop with a multimedia website in it or some shit that maximises and all the kids sit back from the computer going "Wow!" with this strange wind blasting from the screen as they gaze upon your product in awe and then bow down and worship you. Yes. that's what really happens when you think about it eh? What you describe and they envisage when you are pushing the idea to your clients. But in reality someone opens a site on their 'average' PC and it slows everything the fuck down, prints a 3d placeholder that says "Downloading Website, approximate time 3 minutes on 56k" while loading a tedious intro that no-one wants to really bother to look at throiugh can't skip and after five minutes of this LAME SHIT we begin to realise that behind the basic colours and jerky animation and scratchy/patchy sound there is NO FUCKING ACTUAL CONTENT.

Of course you don't care do you? You've made a website out of flash and mummy told you it was nice and the rest of the world should upgrade to the max new PCs on the market and if they can't afford it then you don't care because you've been paid for your flash site by your clients and are rich and rich people are the coolest and those that matter in California aren't they?

Fucking dickheads! Hope you drive your Porsche into a fucking tree, if you can find one. Trees can't pay you to make a Flash site so you don't care about them... so go on... ram that fucker. ...and take off that seatbelt guy! Seatbelts are lame. Would Neo or Morpheus or Trinity be wearing a seatbelt?
