Dear fellow Video Background Haters. I first noticed the totally braindead idea of having a distracting video on the main login page back in January 2014. I was in Sweden at that moment, but where I live here in Cyprus they had not implemented it (yet). Thank god I thought, until yesterday, when this mega stupid HTML5 hack came up even here on my PayPal page for Cyprus. It took them 6 months to sneak it in here too. The video is so distracting that I can't even find the login or signup buttons. And the video itself...man. It is about some trendy barista making espressos and about a gang of fake guitar playing cowboys looking like they are in desperate need of a WC. My guess is that they paid soo much money for that stupid and over ambitious video that that they just had to implement it. Just because the technology exist for making such pointless and customer-unfriendly attention it does not mean that they have to do it. I say like I always have said on this topic: PAYPAL, PLEASE KILL YOUR DARLINGS. NOW!!!! Oh, by the way, if you click two times on the login button, it will take you to an error page without the video and you can login without any annoying distractions. Kenneth Cyprus
