Many people think that Flash animation is evil per se, but what happens when it falls in to the “wrong” hands? Here are a variety of online nastimations – use and disseminate carefully! While doing so you can ponder this thought – is Flash really evil or is it just drawn that way?
Save the Bunny
Fred is a cute little bunny wunny and his heart has stopped beating. You have a minute to get his heart back in working order before the cute wikka wabbit goes to that curry pot in the sky. Fortunately you have a range of surgical instruments to help but time is working against you! In less than a minute you have to prepare Fred for surgery, make an incision and get that little heart beating again. If you fail, off to heaven he goes. Not for the squeamish or teddy bear fans!
To Know Becky is to want to Kill Becky
Meet Becky – possibly the most irritating little girl on the internet! She has a lot to say for herself and – as you can guess it’s all about “me, me, me”. A satire on the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of websites out there that are devoted to recording the minutiae of a person’s life and that no-one (repeat no-one) ever visits on purpose. After a little time with Becky you will begin to realize that lolcats are actually quite amusing and rickrolling should be back in fashion. That is, if you don’t go out and shoot yourself!
Countdown
If you take your laptop on a plane and feel upset about the seat in which you have been placed, the person next to you or the general princess of pop demeanor of your air steward then you may want to play this naughty flash animation while they are hovering around. Generally and advisedly speaking, unless you want to spend a year or two in Hotel Guantanamo you may wish to keep it to yourself and snigger about what people’s reactions would be were you to allow them to see this!
Palin as President – Be Afraid
Not since Margaret Thatcher was unceremoniously removed from power has the western world shuddered so involuntarily at the thought of a lady at the top of the political tree of an occidental power. Whether you love her or hate her you will not be able to suppress a titter as you play with President Palin in the Oval Office. You can open the curtains to see what is going on outside, play with the toy bridge on her desk or throw darts at a list of outrageous baby names. Pure wicked bliss to be had here – you were warned!
An End User License
If you have ever brought a product from a certain Seattle based global enterprise then you should really read the small print before you install it on to your PC. That small print should really be read and gone through with a fine tooth comb. With a little help from a few ants and a magnifying glass, you too can discover the reality of the situation. Who needs the devil when you can sell your soul to Mr Gates?
Pumpkin Head
If you tire of the yearly mess-fest in the kitchen (and other rooms) that is Halloween, then simply unleash the power of the internet on your kids instead. OK, these are not pumpkins you can put on your porch but it may just keep the kids quiet for a minute or two. This feisty piece of flash allows you to create your own pumpkin. All you need is some time to waste and a steady hand and you can have your own set within nanoseconds. The above attempt is my own – go on, see if you can do any better!
See Adolf Dance
If you like watching despotic maniacs dance, then this may well be for you. There is a certain madness here and although you may not find anything offensive it serves as a reminder that ridicule can be used to good effect, even when the horrors of history fail to do so.
You may have a friend (or two) who doesn’t know much about the internet do those people still exist?). Send them a link to this little beauty and you will be able to tell straight away if they are net-savvy or one of those people who pretend they are. While not particularly evil, this may well be enough to get them scratching their heads. You may well find out what sort of sense of humor they have too!
Mood Music
The Swedish band Lodger are well known for their depressing lyrics – in fact they make Radiohead and The Smiths look like a day out in the park. With ice cream and ducks going quack. This is a day out in a very dark park, the story of a man thrown out by his partner. It’s all down hill from there as he fails to make life bearable afterwards. Flash gone really bad: hide the razor blades!
If you hated the television series Heroes because it was about as far up its own rear end as it could be without reappearing out of its mouth and flying away, then this animated short is for you. A fairly blistering satire as far as blisteringness and satiricism go; you may even get a small thrill if it is your favorite TV series of all time. Doubtful, but a possibility!

Nothing will get you buried on Digg faster than 10 Online Nastimations for Liberals.
This is an all-time low for webupon. If you have political views, don’t use a technology heading to feed us a crap sandwich.

Any use of Flash on a front page is inherently evil.
October 28th, 2008 at 4:38 am
How can you dare to post anything featuring Dahler and Flash without posting Dollar Mending?
