Does *advertising* include music videos and games?

  Two of my wordpress.com blogs – http://thisunlitlight.com and http://echoesfromemptiness.com – have recently had *Advertisements* inserted below my posts. They are different from the usual discreet WP advts. One was a rock music video that was totally unrelated to my haiku post. Yesterday there was a *How High is your IQ?* game flashing below my meditative poem. In both cases the *advts* disappeared after I replied to comments. Is this normal or have I been hacked?
  Thanks for any reassurances!

  Hello there,
  We Volunteers are no fully apprised of what advertising WordPress.com chooses to run on our blogs and when we are logged in we can’t see the advertising so I cannot answer your question. You will have to contact Staff. Here’s the link http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ After you use the searchbox, under the search results, at the bottom of the page there will be a section that says “Have you found the answer to your question?” You can choose either “Yes I found the answer to my question.” or “No I didn’t find the answer to my question and I would like to contact support for help.” The no option will reveal the contact form.
