Always a new way to interrupt

Cingular_on_rhapsody Blake sends us this story:

I signed up for the 14 day trial of rhapsody.com ... As I'm enjoying Roxanne by Sting I hear Feliz Navidad playing over the track.  I instantly assume that something is wrong with the stream and try to replay the song.  It happens again.  I then go back to the song list page trying to figure out what the heck is doing that.  Then I realize it.  It's the Cingular Banner at the top of the page!!!   How horrible.  I was enjoying rhapsody.com.  Now I'm done.

I don't think the game is to find new ways to interrupt people in annoying ways, is it?
