If simple Javascript ads can be this annoying, just imagine what we have to look forward to with HTML5 …

Russian websites use audio flash ads without an audio off button. Imagine how annoying that is.

Just getting it out there…

That’s because in Soviet Russia, sound plays you.

these have been around for ages… why complain? I’m sure you can tell if a link hides that kind of ad just by looking at it, it’s not that hard….

At the end you’re basically saying “beware of html5” (not necessarily, but in a way you do)

I can tell that FLASH topic of ArikB got flashers annoyed, but come on, the purpose of technology is to be useful. Anything else created with that technology can just be ignored (like that annoying ad you show here ;) )

Stop acting like kindergarten, JS, HTML5 , CSS, FLASH , they’re all here to stay and serve us to make the web better :)

It really is funny how an open ended topic is perceived as hostile, mutters something about sand and panties.
