In the on-again-off-again Apple/Flash affair many people feel caught in the fray. McCann creative Mat Bisher, perhaps tired of being caught up in this tug- of-war, used his Flash-built site to send a strong message:  “STEVE JOBS HATES YOU.”

Bisher employed a Flash sniffer to send this message, sniffers detect whether users are on Flash-enabled  devices. Try to view Bisher’s “Save Apple” site from an iPhone or iPad you’ll be greeted by Steve Jobs flipping you the bird with a freakishly long middle digit.

Bisher hit on the idea out of frustration:
“I, like many agency creatives, have designed my site using Flash, and as we all know, Apple’s iPads and iPhones are not Flash supported thanks to Mr. Jobs.


It dawned on me that there was a great opportunity for messaging in a space that wasn’t being used. I have used “Flash Sniffers” in the past on other sites I have designed, but had not put one on my personal site…Well, since that is a complete waste of time with iPads and iPhones I decided to use the untapped digital space to spread a message and hopefully get others to do the same.”
