    US Weekly Red Carpet


    This Red Carpet add is absolutely AWFUL.

    A full page video with sound popping center screen everytime I enter a thread or forum area is just ridiculous. Unfortunately, add-block is not an option for me at work either.

    You won't hear me complain about advertising very often, but this one needs to go...

      Hmm. I see the ad, but it doesn't autoplay or anything. (At least for me...)

        Yeah, it's been bugging me too. Here's a screen cap of it expanded.

        And then after closing it, if you slide your cursor anywhere near it such as the "quck links" or "user cp" links on the menu bar right about the ad, it expands again. Really annoying.

          I was just coming in here to complain about this ad. It has to be one of the worst ads that has ever been on this site. The thing is so loud and takes up more than half the screen.

              I concur. This advert is leaving me quite nonplussed.

                I was just coming in to make a thread about this ad...absolutely awful. It blocks the entire screen so that I have to select "forums" from the top and re-enter whatever forum I was in. Worst ad ever on here.
