I have a vent and also a question...

I was on the main PC site reading about ADD adn on theright of the page is an advertisement for Concerta. I know sites make their money with ads, I have absolutely no problem with that. What I have a problem with is the fact that it is a "moving" advertisement. Shows different scenes and different words every few seconds. I can not read what I wanted to read becasue this keeps getting my attention instead.
I was on another site and there was an ad for Vyvanase. It would have a picture or whatever then scroll all the side effects and warnings. Again, I could not focus on what I wanted to read because of this distraction.

My question, and please correct me if I am wrong, but do these companies actually understand ADD? Do they not know that their distractions are irritating and frustrating to some ADDers? Anyone know what I mean? One of my symptoms and peeves at myself is that I can not read unless I can totally focus. Well how can I focus if there is blinking ads right beside???

Any input on this would be appreciated.

Thanks!
