Youtube advertisements?

Youtube has ads, we all know this. There is always the little box that pops up about 10% of the way through a video, or the TV ad that runs for 15 seconds every 10 videos or so. Today however youtube sunk to a new low: I was watching a music video and about 1 minute in, the video cut out, a "RedflagDeals.com" ad played for 15 seconds, and then my music video came back, starting from the point where it left off. I hope that this was a fluke... because if it happens again I will not be using youtube anymore. Anyone else seen this happen?

    Sounds very annoying. I haven't heard of this before - the ad's are supposed to appear before the video starts (and are difficult to avoid/skip), not halfway through. Must be a glitch or loading problem.

    Adverts on youtube have become much more common since Google bought the company. Their aim was to commercialize it more and the constant ads are one of the results of that!
