WOW! You are right! I must be crazy! That is the most seemless intuitive process imaginable... why on earth would I not want to jump through those hoops every time I run across video online!!! Thank you Steve Jobs for showing me a better way to surf the web!
It's ridiculous. What you have is a really cool e-reader or more accurately an iphone with a bigger, better screen that won't fit in your pocket or make phone calls.

...and like I said, in a few months, that won't be a big deal. You can just happily click the link and watch HTML5 video. In the meantime, you can just get an app. Is it the best solution? No. But it's hardly the "OMGWTF I MUST KILL MYSELF BECAUSE THIS IS SO ****ING HARD" process you're making it out to be.
