Yahoo Games - iPod Touch Ad

Sorry, it's been a while since I posted, but I found my new favorite online advertising campaign, courtesy of Apple, Inc. This is one that you'll definitely want to see in action.

Head over to http://games.yahoo.com and wait for the ad to load. I've included some screenshots below for those too lazy to click on a link.

For those who can't quite figure out 'How They Did THAT?!' I'll include a little info.

The entire ad is Flash, and is laid over the default Yahoo header. I assume it's a single flash file, rather than multiple flash files coordinated through some javascript or some other means. The top of the flash covers the yahoo navigation and logo, except when you mouse over the top. You'll notice the animated navigation elements stop moving and there's even a very slight shift in the location of the elements. That shift gives away that the top of the Flash ad is being hidden to allow the user to interact with and select other pages.

Last, you can right click anywhere on the top half of the page and you'll see that it's all Flash. Lovely.

UPDATE: The ad's gone, but here's a video capture someone posted on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSZ_IAXuSSk

As mentioned, thousands of people have already seen life changing results after using Kyle Leon's Muscle Maximizer for just a few weeks, and there is nothing that says that you can't experience the same changes as well.
Except this is exactly what does happen, frequently in badly considered build muscle strategies.
At duration for just a very limited time time period,
it'll be incorporated a unique plan that will produce complete ''mirror magic'' for your entire body within seven days.

This process is usually favoured by people newer to internet marketing and business, as those who
have been running an internet business realise
that delivering products manually will not only take up all of your spare time, but will eventually lead to many
disgruntled customers, and a number of customers thinking
they've been scammed. I can attest to that, but I have one major problem: I cannot afford to keep on paying up to $14 for every book that I want to read. I didn't have much money to spend, and some
friends had told me that you could get a free
laptop by signing up with a new broadband provider, or new mobile phone
provider.
