One local news website I sometimes use was covering elections - news reports, partial results, the usual. It's a very high traffic day for any news outlet like this, so it would be a shame not to monetize it. They had this huge background ad covering my whole screen with a bit of conent in the middle (which also has inlined ads of course). They served the background image from the root of their main domain, new url was generated with each request (there seemed to be no pattern that I could match), scripts requesting and displaying the ad were inlined, and the ad itself couldn't be easily hidden as it was attached directly to the <body> somehow. I played with blocking it for a few minutes and then just gave up and used different website. They went back to regular ads after the election, but I know they are saving this crap for later. Oh, and they also do pop-up asking you to disable the ad blocker.
