Ad for Crackle Movie redirecting my Browser to their site

[freezy]

Browser being redirected to Crackle movie website.

I don't think I even pressed anything. It just happened 3 times in 5 minutes.

That's a little aggressive, don't you think?

We use syndicated ads and everyone sees different ads based on their internet browsing history, I am guessing you like movies.

But all kidding aside we don't like ads like that and when we are alerted to them we block them, no ad should ever hijack your browser... ever!

I went through and searched and did not find anything for crackle, but I can report the URL to our ad agencies if you let me know the url if it happens again so they can block it for us. (But hopefully it does not happen again!)

This just happened to me at about 2:30 ET when I logged into the site. went straight to Crackle when I was scrolling down to click the link to the Hopper Questions on the main page.

I have filed a ticket with all 3 of our ad agencies for this "Crackle" ad.

It just did it to me on my test pc as well. That kind of ad violates our agreements with the ad agencies, so I want them to kill it asap.

Sorry folks!

I have had this happen 3 times today and it throws me entirely out of the site when it happens.
