    There is a "PLAY NOW" advertisement on the site for an online game called "Fiesta" that plays loud rock music and the advert has no mute button. It is very annoying to have my music interrupted by spam. (Any game with the words "PLAY NOW" is spam)

    Because the advert is actually streaming the video straight from Youtube, I can't even maneuver the browser menus to select "View Source". Even now it's very difficult to type this message as the stream on the other tab is chugging my connection. Just go to any download page that shows screenshots (I was on Nintendo 64 - Duke Nukem 64) and hit reload until it appears. Today there was a mute button but the actual Youtube controls are blocked by a gigantic PLAY NOW button.

    Oh tat idiotic game Fiesta advertisement. You can watch this advertisement on this site when you view a game that you press. If you didn't see it, refresh the page till you see it. You can actually right-click the advertisement and press stop download and it would not play a single sound.

    Well, mine does... but only after around 5 seconds or so.

    Mine does too, it sometimes will have sound but sometimes it will be muted. The irritating thing is that it is annoying as it sucks away the download speed for some people or making them forced to watch this advertisement.

    Yes, but when I clicked it, it directed me to another site which I left straight away.


    Oh, and the sound doesn't start till halfway.
