<blink>This generates blinking text on
most widely used browsers that aren't
Internet Explorer, including Firefox,
Opera, and Safari.</blink>

It's destabilizing all my assumptions about what text is supposed to do!
http://www.sadanduseless.com/2010/10/animated-film-gifs/
Perhaps one could argue that blinking text is similarly
ironic.
The top one is particularly nostalgic.
We're enjoying a serene slide to recover from all the blinking and
marquees. Are you relieved?

Marquees in their natural
habitats.
This is also the illusion of motion.
Don't overlook the additional heavy use of Comic Sans evident in
this source code, though that's a whole different kettle of fish.
Derrida deserves his picture in every presentation, and
does not deserve to be made into a tacky gif.

The blink tag is noncompliant with
accessibility guidelines, and can make
navigation difficult for blind users.
This is a concept that is surprisingly
hard to display in a visual medium, it
turns out.
In Firefox, type “about:config” where you would normally type a URL,
then filter for “blink.” Right-click, toggle.
Disabling marquees, on the other hand, involves manually adding the
variable in order to disable them.
-Lou Montulli, inventor of the <blink>tag
Do you find your perceptions of what text can do
threatened and destabilized now?
