Flash

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

A program developed by Macromedia which allows companies to easily make kewl shit for the internets, but somehow got into the hands of sweaty, fat-assed, nerds who decided to use it to make hentai and poorly created stick figure animations, sex kitten games and sim dates. It is known that 99% of flash animations are aimed at a 13 year old audience and are hosted on Newgrounds (moar like Newbgrounds, amirite?). Flash is also a one-way ticket to instant internet popularity on any art site ever.

The new Flash Studio 8's hefty price tag of 700 dollars could quite possible avert some of the poorly created furry tentacle rape, or it would if Flash Studio 8 wasn't the easiest program to pirate ever. However, this is Macromedia's own fault for putting warez of their own software on their official website.

Although Flash is a rather nice tool, and is capable of creating fair animations, Flash was never exceptional for such medium, and never will be.

[edit] How to be hired by a big company as a Flash designer

Here's some tips based on what's out there:

• If you work for a car company, the front page must be only flash and no text at all. Sure this should make their Google ranking non-existent, but strangely it doesn't. The flash plugin must be at least 20 megs in size.
• Make sure the flash applet won't load from the browser's cache, so each time they go back to the same page, the flash applet must be downloaded all over again.
• If you make the page only navigable by flash and hard to navigate, then must secretly upload your entire site map with keyword linking to Google base so the user has to use Google to navigate your site.
• Use secret flash cookies to track the users like Bank of America and eBay do.
