Is it me or is web advertising getting to a point of ridiculousness? Just take a look at this screen grab. See anything PURE EVIL about it?

No??? Lets take a closer look...

Right there! Just press "close" and TRY as fast as you can to get your mouse OFF of the button "release the magic" before it starts the stupid ad all over again which is hovering OVER the information you are trying to read!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

..couldn't you just use the TAB button to highlight the "close-x" button, then hit ENTER while the cursor is off-screen away from any trouble?

..just a thought ... good luck-Monte

It was some sort of flash popup. Nothing I did worked except by the time I finished uploading these pictures it finally went away on its own in the original browser window. Still...

Disney's web-designers seem to think everyone in the world has at least a 3mb DSL connection. I pity anybody with anything less trying to look at any of their sites. Or any movie site, I guess.

My first thought about the evil was the "movie download" line.

I have run across similar ads that won't go away..thanks Joe for the link. [thumbsup]

At first glance, I thought the current HARRY POTTER film was going to be out in six days [Big Grin]

(Sorry, not up on all the fantasy film stuff out there now. . .)
