Animated flickering disc advert on website

Posted: October 23, 2006 - 7:55am

I think my Grumpy Old Man genes are coming to the fore. Anyone else irked by the animated 'blu' disk advert?

If it could be killed by hitting the 'Stop' key, that wouldn't be so bad.

But when it appears on the Stereophile homepage, I am compelled to navigate elsewhere for the sake of my eyesight -- which is a damn shame.

A better question might be whether there is anyone who is not annoyed by that ad. Perhaps it is a way to identify those visitors to the site who have tendencies toward epililepsy. That sort of visual display is second only to flashing strobe lights in its capacity to trigger seisures.

Today it is on the Stereophile homepage twice -- across the top and in the RH panel. This is crazy!
