The video ad that looks like a swirling comet

There is a video ad down on the right side of the page - it is a Heineken advert I think but it takes forever to download and just looks like a swirling white comet in a black sky - I am struggling to type and post and think that that is slowing everything up.
I can type ok on this page - no Heineken video here on this page!

Hi Scoobydoo8 - are you able to send us a screen shot of this video? Then our Ads team can take a closer look. Are you using the mobile site, app or desktop site?

It's gone. I think it was a youtube type video advert for Heineken and something to do with football or possibly rugby. I just clicked on it once and something about Heineken appeared and a footie/rugby pitch, I didn't bother watching it.

But as it downloaded, or I should say tried to download, it just appeared like a black screen with a white swirl in the middle. My laptop was running slowly, I see I posted on a Friday night, possibly just running slow due to Fri and weekend traffic, I have, in theory, a fast BT connection but it goes slow often at weekends.

I posted here because I felt that the attempt to download that video was making the laptop even slower.

I thought the problem was with my laptop. I get loads of swirling and then sometimes a few words. It's very disconcerting when the sound comes on out of nowhere. I think I've seen one about football too
