I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. I don't understand what multitasking has to do with it?

Very little to do with multitasking, more a matter of perception and how it functions. Flashy and or moving things naturally attract our attention -- it's an evolutionary survival mechanism. The animated avatars that are the target of this thread result in the behaviors described above -- distraction from the posted message(s), annoyance, avoidance, placing on ignore lists, etc.

FWIW pressing "Esc" in Firefox will freeze any animated images on the current page (after it's finished loading of course).

Keeping up with all the threads is becoming a bit much, so I confess, I just read the newest first.

Okay, I've reread this thread six or seven times now and I still don't see any other mention of it prior to my post.
