Ads flashing - trigger for seizures

I don't think the recent adverts for Hush should be on here. They incorporate flashing images.

When there are flashing images on TV there's always a warning, because these can trigger seizures/epilepsy.

According to the last MNHQ update on all this that I read (before I switched to an ad-blocking free browser), the ads / screen / whatever had passed some sort of disability test and wasn’t going to be changed.

Personally, I went for the free ad-blocking option because the flashing ads and the gambling ads and the screen-covering ads and the screen freezing and the battery draining downloading of video nonsense was all too much.

Evening @TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne. Thanks for letting us know about this. Can you tell us any more about this ad so we can track it down more quickly? A url to the ad itself would be really useful, but if not a video so we can see the flashing would be great, or any info on where you were on the site when you saw it.

If anyone else spots it in the meantime and can send us that information, that would be really helpful. Thanks! Flowers

We've think we've stopped these flashing Hush ads now. If anyone is still seeing them please let us know.

The Uniqlo ad is horrible and flashy and gives me motion sickness. When you click on the pause button on it to stop the motion it blares music at you. Horrible
