Annoying Romney Popup Is Annoying

If you happen to mouseover the Mitt Romney banner it pops up covering a bunch of the screen and starts playing audio.

I'm not for or against any political group, whatever whatever...but this popup banner needs to be less intrusive.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Due to our site guidelines in regard to political discussion, I've asked IB to remove it, they need to have the next person that sees it click through to get the url and let us know what the url is so that we can have it removed specifically (PM it to me, or email through contact us no worries, post it in this thread and I'll assume it's for the ad removal purposes and no worries on the guidelines).

I am happy to report the site users have been less of a discipline issue than the pop-ups in that regard; I'm not happy the site is doing that though. If you see it again please let me know, either from posting here or via PM. If you've installed an ad blocking software, well then I guess you'll just have to wait and read about it, like me.
