I was looking forward to seeing what was on offer on the website, but it seems to be one of those ones that require Flash. Damn.
I avoid Flash because it is mostly used for displaying obnoxious Flash ad banners. If a web site wants my patronage the site authors should deliver content in HTML or SVG.

I don't eat animals since discovering this ability. I used to. But one day the lamb I was eating came through to me and ever since then I haven't been able to eat meat.
Originally posted by Thunder Shaker Just like deciding to run a Flash-only website is a real winner of a plan.
The only reason people write Flash ad banners in Flash and not SVG is because almost everyone has a Flash plugin and nobody gives a tinker's cuss about SVG. So why would anyone deliver anything in SVG if Flash has more market penetration? A decision like that could cost someone their job.
If SVG were popular, there would be ad banners in SVG so you would then boycott SVG too.

If you go to the TV, you can "change channels" and see different clips (I am assuming they will be TV ads), and there are 8 clickable buttons, and 6 have clips.
