Please*.

I don’t have a problem with the production values (or lack thereof), though they are missing the two most important production values a video can have. If you’ve seen the movie Tapeheads, you know what I mean.

My problem with this is that it sets up a false sense of what usability is. I am sorry Flow Interactive, but there’s no farging icehole** way I’d wear a cape. And that personal decision was made well before the time of the Incredibles. Sure, who doesn’t want to slip on a silky unitard and contrasting briefs? No one, that’s who.

Using a cape though… this just sets usability back 10 years. <sarcasm>Thanks a lot.</sarcasm>

*I don’t want you to actually kill me. Just to be legally clear.
**What’s with all the movie references?
