Puts me in mind of the time I had to develop a time/date control,
because the out of the box control was so annoying to the users, and
management didn't think it was worth buying something so "simple", then
endlessly complained about how much time it was taking me to build one.
(So it's a run on sentence, so sue me).

The photo.net ads are only marginally less annoying - at least they
don't
come with sound. Why don't these people learn? Don't they test people's
reactions to their to their stupid, sophomoric ideas? The first
lessons in
user interface design are: Don't piss off your user; don't put
animations on
the screen; don't use sound unless it's easy to turn it off.
Generally, they test them by getting other stupid, sophomoric web
developers to check it out. So the feed-back they get from their
testers is as moronic as their own ideas.
They get told whether their latest, greatest widget works or not, but
no one ever tells them the widget is stupid and annoying.
They're all overly impressed with their own cleverness.
