Have you noticed the latest sneaky little advertising trick on MyLot?

I was wondering if others had been victimized by the sneaky little ad trick that is present on MyLot. You read someone's post, drop down to make a comment, and just as you hit enter in the comment bar, an ad quickly darts in--I think it's from the left--and gathers up your enter, taking you somewhere you don't want to go. I don't know if it's tied in with any particular ad, as I quickly x out of it, but it's a minor pain in the neck. It reminds me of a spider who lies in wait until something lands in her web. Then she quickly darts out to wrap her prey up and suck his guts out. I still have my guts, but I'll attach a picture of a common garden spider that I took near our garden in Oakland a few years go. They look gnarly but are completely harmless to humans.
