customer: I'll have the lamb and wild rice please.
waiter: good choice. [minutes later] Here's your meal. Enjoy =)
customer: WTF? What is this? Is this… is it... cat food?
waiter: it's what you ordered. See on the foil in big letters it spells out "Whiskas Lamb and Wild Rice." Enjoy =)
customer: I can't eat that! It's gross!
waiter: oh please. According to our pushy web developer, flashy presentation is overrated. It's food, it's edible. Enjoy =)
customer: but it will taste terrible!
waiter: Have you seen Jakob Nielsen's website? Taste is irrelevant.
customer: but this isn't even people food.
waiter: you're not Lady Gaga.
[apologies for flogging / not letting this go... I couldn't resist the opportunity to mix Whiskas and Nielsen together in the same bad joke... I need help.]
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoI find it interesting that starting from complaints from two Apple nerds (i.e. usability/design/aesthetics focussed people) you've judo'd their Flash criticisms into a defence against hardcore open source, utopian-technowizard, nice-typeface-hating, usability-means-ugly, aspergian HTML5 zealots. I'm sure they hate Flash too (don't we all?) but for entirely different reasons from those discussed in the submission.
