No because we have ad blockers installed :)

I use uBlock origin and I still saw it. I added a rule to block it but I just thought it was a little crazy that an ad was so large.

I saw it too. I thought that it was part of the article, as an example of the lame advertising that mall stores use.

Looking again at the article, it's not there. So it was a real ad ;)

I was looking at the big empty parking lot, didn't notice a huge Fnord.
