This CNN article has an autoplaying video. All of my attempts to find a way to block the offending content have failed; it starts blocked, but as soon as I scroll down the page, some javascript animation moves the non-existent video to the sidebar. The side-video is hidden, but still loads and plays audio.

Even worse, though I remember the original video being a mere 14 seconds, it is still playing some nonsense. Does it just loop new video downloads until I close the tab? Is there no mercy for bandwidth? [/frustrated]
