Gratuitous use of Flash. It is not Adobe's fault, it is your fault for using Flash for the most pathetic things mankind has known. Remember every time you use flash on your website, a cute puppy dies. Your SEO strategy is buying links, expired domains, et. You deliberately want to stink? How can you not love that?

As a cure to this malaise, I’ve encouraged y’all to switch to using only custom reports (bring just relevant metrics and dimensions into one place, and throw away 90% of web analytics data that does not apply to you).
