Then I got bored waiting for it to load. I still don't know what zombocom is, what it's selling or whether it's something for me. If the blimmin thing had just loaded and told me whether it was worth my while snooping around, I might not have had the time to come back here and moan. No - me, I don't like flash sites.

I still don’t know what zombocom is, what it’s selling or whether it’s something for me.

No - me, I don’t like flash sites.

It's not interactive, you can't leave this kind of comment (at least I don't think you can) and, as you say, it's f a a a r t o o s l o w. And if clients think they need bells and whistles to sell their products - then maybe their products are kind of lacking in bells and whistles of their own.
