:::As an aside, I hit play and it froze 4 seconds into it. I restarted it and it froze 8 seconds into it. Did this all the way through the video.

JoePlay listed the pages the videos were for in his original post. They are selected by the advertiser, to match articles that they have videos for, and Wikia gets paid for every viewing (or paid in kind with some return-links or something). We can veto this since it is our wiki, but Wikia loses out. The idea is that the videos are useful to our community, which normal adverts are not (like the horrid ones at the top of every article ''inside'' the content area). If the videos are not useful, then we'll simply decline and veto these. Is that the consensus here?
