In all seriousness, probably could be summed up in 'IM (not instant messaging - interactive marketing..) companies are testing the water, while using the sea. this will soon fade like so many other tactics, techniques and avenues we have seen previously'. Or at least I hope so! Oh, and one thing to AIMA - please do not call yourselves an interactive marketing association before you can follow the WCAG. Flash navigation is the worst possible crime against the Accessibility Guidelines, and humanity itself. :) Totally agree on the ridiculous nature of these adverts.
