there are plenty of more legitimate uses for this.

for example, could this be used to autoplay embedded youtube vids? they are flash. if you can click a coordinate space, that would be awesome. though i have no idea if you can.

I think it would be even more useful if it had a random element in it that only allowed a click to happen on exit of the page IF the person hadnt clicked whilst on the page.... ohhh and only actually clicked within a certain % of the time.... maybe some cloaking would also help make sure the erm page code loaded quickly (or something.... :
