OK, it's not the most annoying ad ever, but it's still very annoying.

I can't stop staring at it. It's mesmerizing.

It looks to me like Microsoft's answer to a bouncing Dock icon. Yup, with a Vista theme it would fit right in.

The Windows box thing has nothing to do with it. Yes, it's ugly, but that's not why I hate it. I hate it because it is dizziness-inducing.

next time you see an "annoying ad" copy the click through link (using control+click when over the banner--not the link at which it ends up). will ban it from the system.

So you ban advertisers with extremely annoying ads? If so...

Next time I'll try to provide the pertinent URLs.
