Thumbplayer Ad

I hate to complain, but there's a new Thumbplayer ad that plays music REALLY loud when you scroll over (reminds me of the HD-DVD ad from April: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread....ighlight=sound ).

I keep getting Fergie yelling "Glamorous! Glamorous!" over my speakers. Is there anything we can do about muting that thing? It goes and goes and goes and all I can do is refresh the page until it disapears.

Thanks.

Yeah, I just crapped my pants with GLAMOROUS a few seconds ago. And I thought the HD-DVD ads with the planes were annoying.

You know, it wouldn't be so bad (and would be a much more effective ad, just not to me because I loathe all audio ads) if the adserver just turned down the volume on that thing.

Everytime it comes on, a little bit of pee comes out.


BTW, I did fiture out that there is a 1x1 pixel mute button on the ad. But when you put your mouse on it to mute the ad, it starts playing another song, so there's no way to completely stop music, just stop Fergie.
