From: Bartertown due to it having a better economy than where I really live.
been getting them for a while, but I had other things going so I didn't know they were from dvdtalk
just got 2 in a row with only dvdtalk loaded though
closed the first and a 2nd immediately popped up
who tried clicking them thinking they were freeride magic bus hitch hikers
they're almost the right size

I even had a prompt for my name! Didn't let me hit cancel, had to click ok.

SUPERSTITIAL(tm) format is a standard in online advertising created by Unicast - a non banner, interactive advertising solutions and services company for the Internet.
SUPERSTITIALs are highly interactive, non-banner ads that can be any size on the computer screen and up to 100K in file size, featuring full animation, sound and graphics capable of effectively conveying integrated advertising while protecting a Web site's performance.
Pre-loaded using a patent-pending "polite" delivery system that minimizes the latency problems often experienced with streaming online advertising solutions, SUPERSTITIAL ads play only upon a user-initiated break in surfing, such as a mouse click. SUPERSTITIALs can be used to achieve multiple advertising goals, including branding, direct marketing, commerce and entertainment. SUPERSTITIAL ads play only once fully loaded, ensuring that every user gets a consistent and complete brand message and that each advertiser pays only for guaranteed impressions.
Additionally, because SUPERSTITIAL ad units exist outside the banner space, they can create an entirely new revenue stream for Web publishers.

Looks like this is now resolved.

We had an issue where two superstitials were targeted incorrectly, and
delivered to a couple of sites that do not accept popups/popunders. We have
since corrected the problem and you shouldn't be seeing the ads anymore. If
you do get another issue such as this, please send us a screenshot with a
mouseover on the 468x60 banner, since it will make it easier to track the
banner/popup down. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks

Well, even if they were uncalled for I trust that financial restitution will be made to the site owner: why should they get free ads just because of a "mistake"....?
