Sorry to waste bandwidth on this, but I'd swear I saw a post here that linked to a page of Yahoo ad examples. These ads included unusual rich media ads, etc., that they claimed to "debut". Can't find the post here, can't find the link at Yahoo. Did I hallucinate this, or am I thinking of someone other than Yahoo?

What I'm looking for are examples of some of the annoying ads in which the ads blot out the content you want to see... Thanks.

Are you looking just on Yahoo or on any site?

I guess any site would work - a client was talking about some of the weird ads, like birds flying across the screen, and I told him about this cool page that had links to all kinds of creative (and/or annoying) ads. To my chagrin, I couldn't find the dang URL...
