Just opened the kids.woot site and was blasted by a Lysol advertisement. Boo, Woot. Boo. Ads with sounds should NEVER autoplay, it's just rude.

My speech is not splitting. I am speaking in Cthulhu.

Hear! hear!
Hate that behaviour. Absolutely hate it.
Fie on Woot....'s affiliate advertising.
(I don't think they can really control what pops up, since it's Googleads)

They can. There are options to show video / audio / text only / image only. Autoplay can be switched off and on using a parameter

Ugh, I haven't had that here yet, but I have seen it. I usually shut the page down when it happens. Not exactly good for the site to have customers leave because of the ad.

WE LURV YOU TOO! Dork!!!

I shut down too! Popup ads that grey out the screen you are trying to go to are just as bad. Unless I NEED something, I'll go google it some where else.

Haven't had the bad woot ad yet.
