Flashing ads in side bar

When I was putting up a new article on sca21 earlier today I noticed an ad on the right hand side which sort of flashes - the graphic changes. The ad is headed Dragon Fable and covers the area where the google ads normally appear. Also noticed this on a page I visited on central wikia - Forum:Image background.

If this is a google ad shouldn't it be labelled so? Maybe its just me, but does anyone else find the flashing annoying? Is this sort of backtracking on assurance given at the start of Wikia that there wouldn't be stuff like pop-ups? Something like this might be OK for gaming type wikia - but maybe looks incongruous on a more serious wikia? Philralph 14:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
