The new right-side panel "Today's Latest Financial Videos"

This recent addition to the SA articles screen is beyond annoying. At first I tried to tolerate it but the distraction factor is getting to where I'm reading less of each article and deleting a greater fraction of SA emails in my Inbox. Try reading an article with the Merrill Lynch ad running right next to the text. If I could pause it that would be a great improvement but I can't (until the video starts).
