CNet sometimes serves an ad made in flash embedded in an <frame>
Today these started to display outside their container.
They are overwritten with other page content as needed,
BUT the interaction is still available
-- in the 'new' location
-- across tabs

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL given
2. click on the links to news articles until you get an advert using flash

Actual Results:  
the Flash advert is displayed in the top left part of the screen

Expected Results:  
The Flash advert should have been displayed in it's containg <iframe>

You'll have to browse around a little to see this behaviour :-((
The ads on CNet are randomly served on every page, so there's unfortunately no
guarantee you'll se this behaviour on the URL given :-(((

All other types of ads are displayed as expected
