I call shens.

For its part, Adobe would like to portray Flash as some noble gift that it has graciously bestowed upon the world, leading to a utopia of ubiquitous porn clips, time-wasting tower defense games, and artsy “web sites” where you can’t link to anything specific. But it’s really about them trying to be the content gatekeeper instead of the content being in an open format.

Unlike Dowdell, the Macalope’s not going to issue a manifesto asking anyone at Adobe to talk about that.
