YouTube needs to clean up some more. This isn't MySpace.

The current ad says "close ad" in the corner, which is just part of the ad.

Verizon had up a deceptive ad before as well: http://blogoscoped.com/forum/162570.html

The Google Chrome ad is also deceptive. It has a "replay" button in the bottom-left. If I click it, I get taken to the same page (in a new window) as if I click "Get Chrome Now".
