It was either that or 3 Fast 3 Furious samples.

I hate audible ads. I generally skip Zap2it now, since just about every page you click on has some kind of promo coming up with very loud volume (lately it was "SKin", but I guess it won't be there anymore...before that, it was the movie "Mystic River").

This is a small run ad for the lord of the rings. You shouldn't see it any more frequently than 1x per 24 hours. There should be a STOP button on the ad... and we're not making this ad type a regular thing here, it was part of this campaign

I remember seeing a Texas Chainsaw Massacre banner ad on the IMDB page. Complete with sound, lol. The first time I ran over that, I thought someone was talking to me from across the room

I use Pheonix, and the banner completely locks up my browser for like 2 minutes while it loads.

Some of the ads on ESPN.com are REALLY annoying.
I don't mind the LOTR ad. I think I"ve seen it once. (It is pretty well done) It freaked me out because I wasn't expecting sound, but if it helps pay for the site, not a big deal.
Though the Fear.com ad got to me, but that is water under the bridge.

It is kind of annoying- this particular ad makes you scroll up to it and click the speaker icon to turn it off every time.
Of course they're counting on this, that you'ld click the ad wrong and go through to their page. Ads like this do not engender good feelings from the consumer. I realize they're supposed to be annoying to get your attention, too bad they can't find a more unobtrusive way to sell their product.
