OMG, Talking Ads!

I just witnessed my first Interweb audio ad. It's fairly rare that a popup window makes it through AdBlock, but one popped up a few minutes ago while I was surfing
http://ChristianDownloads.CJB.Net
and... it started talking to me.
"Congratulations, you've been selected to win anything you want from the following items..."
Between the popups, full-page Flash advertisements, and everything else advertisers keep throwing at us, when are they going to give up?

...pop ups are disgusting.
i hate the ads on webpages that when your mouse scrolls over it---they start talking/screaming/singing and so on....
it was really late at night once and my roommate was sleeping until I rolled over a Final Destination 3 ad which SHRIEKED.
oops.

To say Im an overrated troll, when you have never even seen me guard a bridge, is patently unfair.
