The page looks like this:

<div>
Lots of text
<div style="position: relative; top: -2000px">
Ad goes here
</div>
</div>

Note that this assumes that the text is going to be 2000px tall; then the ad is
positioned properly above the text.  (The actual number the page uses is
2400-some pixels, but that's not relevant here.)  When you zoom the text, the
text gets bigger, so moving the ad up by only 2000px is not enough to move it
above the text.  If the site were using font-size-relative units like "em" the
position would adjust with the text size, but they're using pixel units...

Marking invalid, since things are working as they should given the CSS on the page.
