Occupy Flash?

mcgrew writes "CNN is reporting another Occupy movement — Occupy Flash. Their aim: get rid of Flash completely. They explain: 'Why does it matter when HTML5 has clearly won the fight for the future of our web browsing? Well, as we've seen with other outdated web technologies (most notably the much-lamented Internet Explorer 6), as long as software is installed on machines, there will be a contingent of decision makers who mandate its use, and there will be a requirement of continued support, the plugin will live on, and folks will continue to develop for it.' In response, a group of Flash developers have started Occupy HTML in Flash's defense. Popcorn, anyone?"

Clearly the "Occupy" meme is being abused now.
Come on, clearly you don't know what occupy is about.
I mean, Obama and Bernanke as part of the 99%? Is there anybody who believes this nonsense?
If you look for somebody who is hated by the 1% and unfairly treated and ignored by the media, look at Ron Paul.
