AKA, "don't make me strings the swiff," AKA "don't even make me strings the swf" AKA %strings tha.swf."

Site: I'm a hot-ash site

User: Well lookie here! Ooh! Is that like a virtual jukebox? Wait. Oh no. Is this-

Site: 100% Flash, my friend. Jealous?

User: I'll overlook your shortcomings while I just... Best. Video. Ever Yes! Let me just forward the URL to my frien-.
Oh no. You did not. You did not just keep the same URL after I clicked 17 buttons and slid 4 slidey things and typed in 2 forms.

Site: I'm a beautiful, aero-dynamic, evolved organism from the future. I need only one page.

User: Le sigh.

Site: What are you doing? You're denying your friend a beautiful experience!

User: More like: I'm denying my friend carpal tunnel. (ooooh snap!)
