RIP Flash
The windows computer I use at work has gone through one of the typical windows death/resurrection cycles and now the ritual of software re-installation has re-begun. Absent this time around is Macromedia’s Flash. I just said “fuck it.” 90% of what Flash does nowadays is present ads, 9% is shitty movie websites, and 1% is stuff I might actually want to see. Is there any dumber invention than “rich media” ads, i.e. the web equivalent of a midget clown in rainbow colours who jumps up and down and says “HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!” right next to your face while you’re trying to read a book? So fuck you, Flash. Sincerely, D. Crankbloggingsley
I would be more appreciative of flash if there actually were midget clowns in rainbow colours.
Forgive me D, I’m in a commenting mood today.
I went through a similar ordeal some weeks ago, and I must agree completely: Flash is crap. I think there’s ONE site I’d like it for, but on the whole I’m better off without it. I already have an attention freak cat that sits in front of my screen when she wants attention. Annoying, but not nearly as much so as a midget clown.
