Am I the only one getting ill trying to read the forum because of this ad?  I thought that we weren't supposed to have video ads on the forum.  Please, stop the madness!!!

This has popped up on the questions game thread too.  Mods, it's atrocious, all funning aside.  Is this Google's invisible hand in action, or what?

When the advert in question is this disturbing, yes, I think.  (Though I would, of course, defer to you, in this as in all things.)

Yes.  And you must post in it. 

I just find this one unusually disturbing.  I manage to tune most other ones out.

Honestly, I didn't notice it until I read this thread. "Shoot the Bad Guy Ad? What Ad? Am I missing something weird on TV?"

Obliviously yours,

We don't accept video ads and are looking into this. Thanks. The mods.
