Geoff, man, you know we love you. We want to support the site. We really do. But these kind of ads need to go.

It says...

Get a free* Sony PS3

*See offer detail 2005 InternetOpinionGroup.com

It's basically a black background with Star Wars type space ships coming at you and crosshairs that you are supposed to use to target the ships.

Rolling over it moves the crosshairs so you can shoot the ships. Right clicking on it shows that it's using flash, but that's pretty much all I could figure out about it.

might be able to get some useful information by hitting view source on the page when that banner comes up.. then pulling the information from the ad section

If we destroy 10 ships, will you give us a free PSP3?

I'm getting the ad today for the first time, and god is it obnoxious. I tried looking at the page source to see where it's coming from. Does this sound right?
