Annoying Pop-Ups

I've been getting a few reports on an annoying pop-up on the site. I've seen it twice so far. If you see it AFTER this post leave a comment. I made a change that might take care of it.

ToneLadder / TonLeiter

YouTube via starcodo.
"A household ladder extended with a sensor system transforms into a real musical instrument. The ordinary ladder becomes a ToneLadder.

Stepping on a bar of the ladder or touching it by hand creates a sound, tone or musical loop, which varies from rung to rung. You can create a piece of music by stepping up and down on the ladder. Together with a partner you can even play a duet. There is a ToneLadder for everyone: standard, dynamic or even wireless."
