Flex Swimsuit Video trailer - What were they thinking?

[Tre]

http://www.flexonline.com/news/217

1) With all that money they've got, you'd think they could at least hire a website manager that knows how to properly format pages for embedded video.  Half the video screen is covered by ads.  And what about quality control?  Can they not see the same things we viewers do? 

2) That trailer is horrible, at best.  Get a decent videographer in there to film the stuff and then put a decent editor on the job - there's a more-than-ample supply of both in L.A. and they're willing to work for low wages. 

3) Finally, don't publish that kind of crap on the site of the #1 bodybuilding magazine, because it doesn't do the women or the industry justice.  Show some pride, Flex.   

Rating: 1 star out of 5 (and only because the women are so good)

The quality of the video might be bad, but the women are very sexy.
If you show guys in a sexier fashion the audience on this board always call them "gay." 
So I guess all these fitness girls are lesbians.

What are you browsing the page version as well and what resolution?

Me Firefox latest version and it shows perfectly, the way you say that it's half covered by ads suggests that you are using a very low resolution like 800x600

That's what I was wondering about the ads half covering, it works fine here. Can anyone having this problem PM me a screen shot of the probleM?

I am also using Firefox, and set to 1680x1050 resolution on a laptop, also works fine on full monitors here and at the office.

I could have put up the full res version, but it would have taken people about 3 hours to load...happy medium between speed and quality.

I typed too quickly.  I am getting a page, however, no video access.
