Is there any hack/program/incantation that will stop those ultra annoying web page animations, similar to something that kills popups?

I'm a supporter of the web advertising sponsor driven model, but the dancing man in a kilt animation on bigpond has driven me over the edge. And it's something that I've recently seen more and more, even on good sites like NYT, to the point where it's hard to read what's there. Even a floating window that I could drag over it, or better still something that kills flash.
