The Culprits

Maybe when you click that link, you can view any of the trailers you want to see. I get INSTANTLY redirected to their page warning me I don't have Flash.

Well that's interesting. I swear, I was just on Youtube, maybe 12 seconds ago? To even further the dilemma I face, I actually visited their site by clicking a FLASH BANNER I saw on IMDB. If I really didn't have Flash, I would have never been able to click that advertisement.

In fact, what's the point of warning me I don't have Flash and then preventing me from seeing any content? Can't they just let me take the gigantic risk and view the site, while still acknowledging their very helpful warning?

What's the point of even warning me? Let's assume I don't have the Flash plugin installed. Okay, let's pull up a very popular site that I am more likely to view than the Saw 5 website. Youtube. I go to Youtube. Hey, this video isn't loading, but there's a warning from my browser that will clear it up for me by installing this plugin. Okay, it's installed. I should be fine now.

The browser will take care of installing Flash. It has for YEARS now, and will continue to do so. I don't need some movie trailer site informing me that I don't have Flash. If you did not have Flash by the time you visited saw5.com, chances are you are well aware of that. You've either decided to not install Flash at all, or can't get the piece of crap working yet.

For the record, the Saw 4 website doesn't have this "feature" and I can view all of the wonderful Flash content.
