Pop-ups yet again!

Pop-up ads have been appearing again lately... does FT still have the no pop-ups policy? If so, then its time to get in touch with the ad provider.

Dan,

I just got the Bell Call Answer pop-up. It says "contest" then there's a map of the world and a paper airplane follows your mouse pointer around.

There was another pop-up too, but I haven't seen it tonight and don't remember what it was for.

Thanks!

Bell Sympatico High Speed Internet is the latest one, except this ad is even more devious than a pop-up. It's a "pop-under" ad.
