    Did anyone notice the background image on irishtimes.com home page today? As far as I can tell it only appears if you're using Chrome on Ubuntu. For those who can't see it, its a huge ad for Emirates Airlines with two air hostesses flanking the main body of text. Weird! I'm pretty sure it's not intentional.

    You can rest assured that it is intentional.

    Because in your other browser the ad blocker is working properly ;)

    Chromes adblock is rubbish the last time I tried so its probably the reason it doesn't show for OP in Firefox, either that or he isn't using the Chrome adblock which is unlikely
