I'm expressionate about Flash

In looking for full-time jobs, I keep running into this listing for writing jobs at Macromedia:

The Macromedia Flash Instructional team has an opening for an experienced, imaginative, skilled technical writer to lead the development of Flash learning materials and make sure that they deliver an excellent learning experience to Flash customers. The ideal candidate is:
- Passionate about Flash, has experience working as a Flash developer, and is well connected to the Flash development community
- Adept at describing and demonstrating to developers and beginners the concepts, functionality, features, and fine points of working with Flash ...

And blah blah blah. You want to know how "passionate about Flash" I am? This kind of thing is exactly what I hate about corporate websites. You sit there, even with DSL, while it loads. Then you sit there while it plays. Finally you get a choice of things to click on, but when you merely mouse-over a link, shit happens. Click on "Apartment layout," if you get that far, and get dizzy watching the damn thing rotate.

Whoever designed that, I nominate for a job driving a fuel truck in Falluja.
