CarMax Eschews Flashturbation For HTML5

One of CarMax’s Super Bowl commercials last night led to a site entitled A Brief History of Bad Customer Service. Beginning with the Romans dropping the thread count of their togas from 500 to 400 to the invention of Bait and Switch to the pioneering of hold music, the site highlights some of the more negative aspects of the customer experience.

Of course the scroll ends with CarMax’s revolutionized customer service in 1993. Whatever that is. And for the geeks, CarMax really wants you to know the site was done in css/html5/jquery and not Flash.
