Intrusive Head & Shoulders advert

[Abstract]

I'm getting a really intrusive Head and Shoulders ad banner at the top of the page. Whenever your mouse pointer hovers above the banner, the banner expands, and a video automatically starts playing. This can happen quite easily when you go to click on another browser tab in Firefox/Safari/Chrome/etc.

Anyone else getting annoyed?

As per the FAQ

If you could post a screenshot and the URL the advert goes to then we can see about getting it removed.

MacRumors uses an advertising service that supplies ads from a pool. We do not select the specific ads shown or the specific advertisers who participate.

If you find a particular ad especially annoying (e.g., an ad that is oversized, obscures the page, moves around, or has sound), let us know by posting a screenshot in our Site and Forum Feedback forum and telling us the URL it links to. Using this information we can ask to have it removed from the ad pool.

If you find all ads annoying, remember that ads support the site and allow us to provide free news, rumors, and discussion, and that ads are suppressed for paid members. See How do I contribute to MacRumors.com? above.

If I click on it, it links to "itchyscalp.com.au".

That's funny, all I get are Rogaine ads.

We have asked our ad agency to remove this ad. Thanks for reporting it.
