I'm 99% sure this is a dupe, but I can't find the bug at the moment.

cl, what bug are you thinking of?  Bug 334321?

I don't see a video ad on nytimes.com....

Maybe it was on the forum that I saw a report of this. Regardless, I don't see the ad either...

Have you seen this ad again?

If you do see the ad again, please you use the "generated source" bookmarklet <http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html#generated_source> to get the actual HTML/DOM as rendered, save that to disk, and attach that file here (using the "Create a New Attachment" link above).
