That's the price we have to pay for 'free' e-mail.
Update 12-26: Apparently enough of us complained to Yahoo! and GAP that the ad was pulled. Have a Great '08!

Some really mean ad agency had a meeting, and it went a little something like this:
"How can we really annoy tin woman?"
"Let's make a talking gap ad!"
"Brilliant!"
Sorry I had to be the one to let the cat out of the bag.
Seriously though, Have a happy holiday season!

Their staff has this wild idea about getting paid. The Gap ad helps them achieve this.

To support the website.
But it's really getting to the point that I come less and less just to avoid the ad. That's ineffective advertising if I've ever seen it.

I'm actually starting to see more questions about the ad than the ad itself!

Just click on the ad inside the white outline, bottom right side, it'll shut it up.

Good question. Why indeed. It's called advertising! Huge industry and they need to put the client's product in front of your face as often as possible.

To generate revenue. It's the price we pay instead of having to pay to subscribe. Download the Adblock extension for Firefox. If you don't use Firefox, why not?

I don't know but it is annoying. First time I heard it, it blared through my speakers and scared the crap out of me.
