New Exciting Feature of Flash 10.1: Scroll Protection

Are you frustrated by people who just read your site? Who do nothing but consume written content, and never once pause over your funny YouTube links, or awesome Flash ads? Well, your friends at Adobe are here to help, with their exciting new ScrollProtect™! With Flash 10.1, when one of those rude, Flash-Haters is scrolling down your site, all willy-nilly, as soon as their cursor is over some flash content, BAM! That scrolling stops! They're forced to read that content! New Adobe Flash 10.1 with ScrollProtect™. Helping you make your readers see what you want them to see.

Seriously, it's not enough that Flash 10.1 has not done one fucking thing to fix the content load stalls in my browser. Now, that fucking plugin screws up scrolling down a page unless I'm using the window scroll controls. So two-finger drag scroll on a trackpad? Fucked. Using the scroll wheel on my trackball? Fucked.

Yet Dowdellhead et al wonder why people hate Flash...here's a clue for you, ya nimrod: WE HATE FLASH BECAUSE YOU MAKE IT SO FUCKING HARD TO NOT HATE IT.
