J'Accuse Yahoo.

I’ve mentioned before that some of the news items on Yahoo now feature auto play videos, which you can turn off but not before the 30 second ad has finished. They don’t let you turn the ad off.

If that isn’t bad enough, they sometimes pull this trick on news items related to tragic events. So while you’re reading about some poor woman killed by a falling tree branch in a London park, there’s an idiot actor jumping around at the top of the screen trying to persuade you to buy a new kind of breakfast cereal.

It isn’t on, is it?
