Am I out of the loop or something? When did this happen? I was just watching a video, and a Sprint ad showed up in the bottom part of the video. You can click out of it, but I was still a little surprised to see it.

They've been doing that for a while. I've only seen them on universal music videos though.

There have been ads on partner videos for a long time, except they've just appeared on the side. Recently they added ads right into the actual video. At least you can click to close it though?

Yeah, I've seen ADs on the actual video I was watching though. You can click out of them, although it's still annoying. I was watching a video and all the sudden a random ass oreo cookie popped out of the bottom of the video and started slowly sliding up. I didn't know whether that was part of the video or what.

As long as you can click out of them, I'm fine.
 Unlike the ones on yahoo videos, you have to sit and watch through the whole thing.

Veoh added 15-second-long ads to their videos, too, but it's not all the time. They appear randomly, or every few video plays.
