Isn't it time? I'm thinking I am overdue. What the hell are people doing plunking stupid, uninformative Flash elements on their home page such that things like javascript fly-out menus get hidden by their really cool Flash, or that they get a stupid blank area right across the page?

Don't these people want to get their message across? Sell you their product?

OK I admit that maybe if you are running Genuine Microsoft Windows and Genuine Microsoft Internet Explorer then maybe you don't notice anything wrong because the publishers only tested with Genuine Internet Explorer and then called it a day. But I am *not* running Genuine Microsoft Windows or Genuine Microsoft Internet Explorer, ergo.... ergo....

RANT!
