Love the idea of this plugin. To be practical though, it would need to have options, to include the overlay, only on select Youtube videos. Multiple videos on a page for example, would not be a very good user experience. Playing around with adding another Dismiss Ad Window link, at the bottom of the ad content, with some success.

Sadly this plugin no longer works. It miss aligns, doesn't show ad embed and when you click the x the video doesn't appear. Shame, as this would have been a great plugin.
