Come on, you know what I'm talking about. It's <A HREF="http://skarpsey.dyndns.org/kill/flash_winner_g.gif" target="_new">this abomination.</A>

I'm sure we're all tired of it. We try to get used to it, but it's just too distracting! If you're like me, you've turned off animated images in your browser just to be free of the thing.

It seems to come from a site called <A HREF="http://www.theuseful.com/" target="_new">TheUseful.com</A>. I suggest we all complain to these people about that crappy banner. Currently, the only remotely suitable e-mail address I can find is <A HREF="mailto:support@staff.theuseful.com">support@staff.theuseful.com</A>; if enough people complain, though, someone who matters will hear about it eventually.

You are right that annoying flash can cause seizures for people with <A HREF="http://www.epilepsytoronto.org/learning/topic/photo/" target="_new">Photosensitive Epilepsy</A>. Sounds like grounds for a law suit to me. I wonder what the legal implications would apply in the event of someone affected by this flasshing banner?

....why not hack the banner and cause it to send viewers to more interesting sites, such as those featuring busty housewives?.....

I don't see the banner.

1. I have my firewall setup to block that crap. All I get is "[AD]".
2. I have Internet Explorer castrated to the point where is shows html and images, only.

So, I couldn't see the banner.



Is there *NO ONE* else that does this too???!?!?!!?!?

C@lling it like I c it...
