Right, it's not that the pages don't look cool or don't have interesting
content; the problem is that they either don't work correctly, or that
the use of Flash doesn't add anything to the page that can't be done
with HTML.

And ever since those annoying hamsters, the number of Flash-humor sites
has been growing at an alarming rate.  If they were funny, that would be
one thing, but many of them are just plain stupid.
