Why is it that every time I click something in my Yahoo mail, nine times out of ten the 'randomly-chosen' ad banner is this one?
It's fucking annoying!!!
*clicks 'Check Mail' and 'Inbox' links alternately 20 times to see if I'm exagerating*
Nope. Results: 1 Flash Ad (eugh enough) and two other (rather nice looking) ads. The rest? see above...
RAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!

If the ad is so annoying, then why are you posting it here?

I don't see what's so annoying. It shifts from left-aligned to right-aligned and back every 5 seconds or so....

It could be worse. It could be a flash ad that slows everything down, or it could be advertising something nobody wants. But, even the most tolerable ads can become annoying after repeated viewing.

I have a Mozilla plugin that prevents Flash ads (and Flash everything else) from playing until I want them to. One Click, and I'm good to go. It was in direct response to my rants about Flash ads stealing my CPU cycles during Quake. Thanks for the linky, Phong!!

Are you looking for a flamewar or are you just being a fucktard as usual?
