Adobe Play-not

Today's pet peeve: Adobe wanted to install an upgraded Flash Player on my work machine. While they were downloading, they of course had the usual advertising blurb, which includes this bullet: "Most of the top video sites on the web use Flash Player"

I have an ASUS Pad, which runs Android. Flash Player is not supported on Android...Adobe discontinued it. So I translate their ad as:

"'Most of the top video sites on the web use Flash Player'...and we also take pride in having prevented all Android users (even those with pads) from viewing those same top video sites."

Color me annoyed: Nothing like advertising the broad use of your technology to those who can't use it.
