Is interrupting my prevarication from work by self-starting loudly after each page change. It's a video thing sponsored by Asda.

I have a cat on lap with sharp claws and the self-starting Video Thing is also startling lap cat, leaving me with 16 injuries per incident.

Please make it stop.

(I'd turn down the volume but that's interrupting my other prevarication from work.)

Thanks in advance, WWK and her lap cat.

Thanks for letting us know. We'll get it checked out straight away.

If there's any chance someone can post a screenshot of the ad, that'd be very helpful.

Branleuse · 20/10/2015 17:24

I just came over here to say the same. Its loud and starts up randomly. I dont like it at all.

LizzieMacQueen · 20/10/2015 17:46

I can't screen shot but it's an advert for Jurassic Park Blu ray dvd.

KittiKat · 20/10/2015 17:53

Driving me potty too!

AnyoneButAndre · 20/10/2015 17:54

Yes it's an advert to buy the new Jurassic Park DVD at Asda. Not on.

HippyChickMama · 20/10/2015 17:58

It's this one. I'm on my phone and it's starting to play before I can even see it. Most annoying

Its flegging me too and upsetting the dog who cant get peace to have another nap!

Snoopadoop · 20/10/2015 18:17

You know what else it does MN!?
I MN on the train whilst listening to podcasts, it switches my podcasts off and plays the advert. It's bloody annoying!

RomComPhooey · 20/10/2015 19:23

Really fucking annoying. Glad to see it's not just me that it is annoying.

RomComPhooey · 20/10/2015 19:24

The other thing about it - as I just got it going back to active threads & it was in view - is that it flashes saying it's loading and starts fannying about AND THERE IS NO VISIBLE WAY OF STOPPING IT UNTIL IT STARTS MAKING A RACKET!!!

DH keeps giving me a look every time it blares out making me jump. Angry I am not interested in purchasing said DVD either.

Wombatinabathhat · 20/10/2015 20:03

Very annoying. It's doing my head in!
No more mn for me till it's gone.

elephantoverthehill · 20/10/2015 20:04

Me too. I can't make it stop. Does anyone know how to?

Sparklingbrook · 20/10/2015 20:09

I have ad blockers but it's immune to them.

Blu · 20/10/2015 20:56

Indeed - what fresh hell is this?

Ads that make din? How on earth do you expect us to Mn surreptitiously from the workplace, the WI meeting and the parish council committee?

Also it makes me jump, too.

Totally intrusive.

Sparklingbrook · 20/10/2015 20:58

I have muted the sound on the laptop. Not ideal but got fed up.
