    M Burns - "Decisions, decisions" - invisible ad?

    I've narrowed it down to El Reg. Something is playing M Burns from the Simpsons, very badly, trying to say "Decisions, decisions". Comes out more like "De ... cisions ... dec ... is ....ions". Never heard what comes after, but I've got no clue where it is.

    Actually - just heard more, for the first time ever - Decisions, decisions, so many gourmet ingredients f... <cut>. It was even on this "new topic" page, before.

    Seriously guys, I understand you need to pay the bills, but this is exactly the sort of stupid ad that makes people find and install ad blockers. Random sounds? Auto-playing poor quality ... supermarket ads (I'm guessing here)?

    Not the first time this has happened. Happened to me too with other adverts. It's almost as if the sound starts playing first *then* they check to see whether it should be playing at all.

    It would be nice if they could ban sound for their ads on this site. It doesn't work well, adds nothing to the adverts that actually makes people want to click on them, and just encourages people install an adblocker to stop all the unwanted annoyances.

      ...or install an adblocker... :)

      (Edge doesn't seem to have that option, nor does Firefox unless I've missed something)
