Just starting to annoy you? Heck, I started getting annoyed back when people started using images to display text instead of sticking to standard HTML format classes. Flash was worse, and the trend towards streaming media worse still.
Agreed, turning the web into a rather complicated form of cable TV just sucks -- and Congress is about to hand the big telcos the power to push things even more in that direction.
