Fast flashing ads for Top Gun - visual trigger?

Hi
The new Top Gun ads are flashing very fast wiht lots of white and black contrast and make it both difficult to focus on the posts on the page but also could be a trigger for people with epilepsy or visual disturbances. Is there anything you can do to change that? If this was on TV then there would be a warning!

They are a full page takeover, as most of the ads seem to be now, so it isn't even possible to scroll one side or the other. I have had to close down the site completely each time they come on.

Yes, it's ridiculously distracting. Also the bright red, flashing lotto/lottery one. Takes up 3 sides of the screen. I'll try and get a screenshot next time it appears.

That TopGun Ad which is all around the screen is getting on my tits Bigly.

Hello all and thanks for reporting. We've paused these ads while we look into this.

I agree that these ads are horrible, as are all the moving ads on this site.
