Article
Ignore the actual article. Look at the advertising on the side. It's already playing some kind of Flash animation. And if you "mouse over" it starts playing a rather lengthy movie. Mouse over , as in you accidently moved your mouse over it , and then away ... too late sucker , it's now going to play. and if you have too many things going, or you're on dial up , or somehow playing a full MOVIE when you were just looking to read a text news article is bad for your system.... surprise !!!! down you go.
There's no stop button either.
This is advertising at it's most obnoxious. A simple four paragraph news story about some japanese minister committing suicide, and suddenly your computer is now running a full out movie that you cannot stop.
someone has got to start building in "movie blockers" into browsers, that do not start a movie until you press ok or something. This is just insane.
