Why is there a giant turtle on my home page?

the invader
One of my ad networks made a slight error yesterday and began showing a 1024×768 image of various nature scenes (including a large green turtle) in place of my 728×90 and 300×250 ad units. One such image appeared on my home page, pushing the entire page down.
I paused the network in question (interclick), notified them and heard back this morning that all has been cured – it seems that a product test made it into production and onto my site (and how many others?).
Has this happened to you?
Amazing how much our ad “fate” is not in our own hands, isn’t it.
