    People need to complain when they see something like that.
    The true test of character is not how much we
    know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do

    I'm guessing they did as any refresh of the site toda didn't garner either of those two ads.

    I don't think those ads are random. It must use keywords on the page to choose which ads to serve. Its too much of a coincidence to be random IMO.

    I saw that article in SMH Sunday night our time, never noticed the animated ad. I must be immune to those things now.

    Yes they are Random...

    ITS A CHEAP/EASY WAY TO DO IT AND IS DISGUSTING!! (Like everything else today. CHEAP GARBAGE,NO QUALITY)

    Look @ some of these!!

    They didnt ever used to do this crap,they actually cared enough to make sure GOOD ADS (If any) showed on the page and not bad ones like you see in this thread!!

    If people still gave a crap about what they do and did this MANUALLY,this stuff wouldnt happen!

    So let's add to it. Stupid ad companies are still doing it.

    Unfortunately, I use AdBlockPlus and never see ads.

    ABP is great! Some ads are idiotic, but others can be amusing. I went to a site entirely devoted to funny ads, and had to remember to turn off AdBlockPlus.

    Some of the Google ads which match keywords in the page context can be a hoot, but these aren't done to amuse, they're done by automation.
