Annoying auto-play video and audio AD!

[DavidM]

Does anyone know that the IGN ad that starts playing audio and video if you are not logged in? Very annoying when you open a few tabs and get cheesy music and two guys rambling on about mobile gpus.

 

I'm really hoping it's a mistake and the offending ad will be removed and not some new trend.

EDIT: More info.
