It annoyed me, much as all self-animating elements on web pages do, so I ad blocked it. I really wish these big-name sites would learn the art of the unintrusive advertisement. I mean, advertising has existed far longer than the internet, and it worked just fine without mandatory animation before. Why would they need animation now? Google gets it, and hopefully Amazon will get it eventually too...

 I thought that it was one of the nicer 'animated' banners i'd seen.  For the most part, I prefer text ads, but the animated ad that just scrolls through pics of products is as simple and unobtrusive, to me.  I tend to not like flash, but so long as they don't add sound or flashing lights to it, I think i'll be able to live.
