Its the most annoying crappy advert ever!!
Do we have to put up with this?
It makes the "Shock the monkey" ad look soo appealing.
I just got this awful ad on the front page



Don't you just hate these!!!
If its necessary for the survival of the site I will put up with it but otherwise can we stick to more civilised ads???

Sorry Arris, i stated my last post in error, the banner worked at my work computer, I am home now, and it does NOT flash here.....which in this case is not bad.

Is this a sponsored ad or did it sneak in?
