Is it just me or what? Did I miss an announcement? Better yet, how to rid myself of it?!

Or, I suppose it could be spyware, malicious adware, etc.

Please help!

Click the little X? When I closed it, it said "ok, I'm going away forever now, bye" I think it's a feature of the bulletin board.

It doesn't. Looks like some crazy hacker thing. Seek cover.

I'm not comfortable with popup ad's, If WW needs ad's? I would feel more comfortable with the traditional Ad Banner up the top of the screen? (Fairwheel Bikes, Not Fitness Singles and the like). Bike related ad's appear more appropriate.
I love that WW is'nt filled with ad's all over its pages like some other website (including certain bike sites).

Just my 2c worth

The adds are different to every user. It depends on what you are looking on, on your computer, Mr. Fitness singles. Haha
