The whole point of putting JavaScript (and other similar smegma) on a Web P=
age where it is not needed is to prevent people with smegma filters from be=
ing to access the page, and to suggest in no uncertain terms that these peo=
ple take their business (and their money) elsewhere.
Same applies to Flash. Take your business elsewhere. There is no point in=
complaining about it. Sometimes, it is a deliberate feature which is deli=
berately used to attack the visitors of a web site. Prime example is the D=
HS.
