I am amazed as well. Fugg, that would annoy the crap out of me.

I have a list of servers I block. Haven't seen an ad here for about 2 years.

588457 2007-09-06 11:06:00 Its a shocker alright, I opened her up in IE to see what all the fuss was about.

It took a looooong slow time for the page top appear as it loaded all the banner adds and then that monstrosity.

I wouldn't say I was offended by the fat hairy guy, Hell I am a fat hairy guy but nothing in the add would inspire me to buy their product....In fact, what was the product?

Crap in every regard, from design to implementation, and they have the cheek to hassle us for our behaviour because WE turn off new visitors?

Get real.

Do you know how to block certain IP addresses on your machine? Are you running XP?

588459 2007-09-06 11:40:00 The only conclusion I can come to regarding why PressF1 allows this is that the marketing knobs from SonyNZ and Fairfax are sleeping together.

Ewwwww Yuck!

588460 2007-09-06 11:56:00 OMG, that ad alone makes Ad-Block worthwhile even if it did not block a single other ad ever:eek: beeswax34 (63)
588461 2007-09-06 21:52:00 You know, for a bunch of people who like to talk tough and get aggressive at the drop of a hat, you're all very quick to get sensitive and hurt.

This is a commercial site, advertising is a fact of life, get over it already. There are plenty of threads regarding this and we don't need any more. If you want to continue ranting about it, please use one of the existing threads.
