Website Ads

//Pure rant//
Is it just me or are those flash ads getting worse and worse?
On Forbes.com, every time a page opens, a loud video starts. Why?
I get that you want attention, but Demanding attention is NOT the way to go about.
Do you want the audience to listen or get angry?
Part of it is the website's fault because they just want revenue.
Part of it is the marketer's fault because their metric is clicks, even when the clicks are by mistake by the user, just trying to find the off button.
It won't be long before I shut off Flash.
