your website is annoying

Let me start by saying, other than bandwidth efficient (as compared to other methods) youtube-esque video, I HATE FLASH. When entire pages are created in it: its not mobile friendly, is slow, looks about half as cute as you think it does and really has no point. I get it, the hyperlinks do a magical dance as I mouse over them, you know what else can do that? java. And it sucks about 80% less than flash. Lastly, I wasn't born yesterday, we all know that pretty containers are just a cr*ppy way to hide that your site has no actual...content. Look at drudgereport.com for an example of a GREAT web 1.0 site.

I digress, the point of this post was to repost a funny comic (and its inspiration) about exactly this... annoying websites that prioritize animation and presentation over content and functionality.
