The single most obnoxious ad ever... and it's on VS

I wouldn't usually post about an ad, and I don't know if anyone else is getting this specific one but I was just flabbergasted by it's hideous behaviour.

The ad that keeps coming up in the top right corner for me is some despicable ad for Windex. If you make the mistake of rolling the mouse over it and it expands to the entire window. You cannot scroll past it, you cannot close it. It will cover the video you're watching as it shouts at you. Basically you have to close the tab or wait for the 30 second video to finish.

Can VS issue a complaint to their ad provider? Can they actually have a say in what advertisement they want on their site? This ad is utterly appalling and I'm sure this sort of heavy handed bullshit isn't wanted on this site. Advertisement's one thing, this is being repeatedly punched in the face.

But this does beg the question, do advertisement companies seriously think these sorts of obtrusive ads are in anyway effective? All it illicits from me is disdain and a need to boycott their product. I seriously don't get their thinking behind this sort of shit.
