There are sometimes perfectly legitimate reasons to have blinking text.

I created an app for a client which monitored some embedded processes and their values. The app was part of a multi-app projection system in the client's control room. When the operators' attention would need to be grabbed, I would turn the colors of the values red and blink the text at decreasing intervals depending on how much time passed before the alert was acknowledged.
