I know that ads are a necessary evil in the world of the web, but I hate sound effect laden ads on front pages more than anything in the world. I just woke up my roommate because I wasn't expecting an ad with noise in it to start making camera sounds when I loaded this page. "Sorry, dude, there's this stupid ad that I didn't know would be here so I didn't mute my computer." And it just ruins songs, too. I don't mind ADS, but when the camera noise starts, I totally ignore it. I can't take it seriously when it's screaming "MARKETING PLOY!" every time the noise gets made.
