Roy Robinson Ad Doesn't Allow volume control ​

Detailed Description

First of all, the video advertisements are incredibly annoying, and they really slow the site down when I'm using my netbook. However, I want to support the site. so for now I'm keeping Adblock Plus disabled.

The problem I'm submitting though is in regard to the Roy Robinson car ad. It played three times in one minute and wouldn't allow me to turn the volume down, off, or mute the ad whatsoever. Please fix that. Having an ad like that makes me want to avoid Roy Robinson, and it makes me want to enable adblocker plus.

Also, overall is there a way to stop all video advertisements on the site? They take up memory that's not neccessary, they are very invasive when you have multiple tabs open and have no idea which one is playing with sound, and are just plain annoying.

Thanks! ​

This happened with a different ad today. There was a KIRO 7 ad that wouldn't allow the volume to be turned off, and wouldn't let me pause the ad either. The only way I could get it to stop was to click on the middle of the video ad - thus opening up a new tab. That's a pretty dirty way to get ad clicks.
