The above screenshot of a page from The Jersey Journal shows one of the most annoying web advertising I’ve come across in some time. Whether on purpose, or due to some insane twist of [random] fate the page in question displayed the same auto-playing video ad with audio in two ad spots on the page. Due to page load being what it is the audio was staggered by half a second or so making the unexpected audio even more obnoxious. Particularly as it was loaded in a background tab so I didn’t know where the sound was coming from at first.
The page also gets bonus points for displaying ads for police recruitment on a story about a highly decorated cop getting arrested.
That web ad seems like a big mess. Why keep it up there or even put it up in the first place if its not perfect?
