I used to work on a team that made flash ads at a giant company. The salespeople didn't say no to anything.
These companies were paying $500,000 for 12 hours of exclusive time on our home page, so they got whatever they asked for. If they wanted a car to drive out of the ad and smash into the text below, and have each character morph into 5,000 butterflies that then reformed into the car, they got a car driving out of the ad and smashing into the text below, and having each character morph into 5,000 butterflies that then reformed into the car. And they got it within a week.
I swear, the wizardry those flash devs pulled out of their asses was some of the best hacking I've seen in my life.
