Most of those dating sites use ad banners that really really push the line into NSFW territory.

I mostly get ad council stuff. Never seen anything like that softcore banner. Or is that a banner for paramedics? She looks injured.

Yea, I need to get that goddamn dating one turned off. I saw it yesterday at work and simply didn't have time to jump into TF. I'll work with that over this weekend. Weeding through hundreds of ads is no fun.

Internet dating sites are damn lucky nobody's sued for them to adhere to truth in advertising.

Dogs are probably better prepared than most people for emergencies.
Speaking of animals, I've decided any animal kept in a cage is not a pet, but a prisoner. I've gotta get Amnesty International on that.

Ok, I am still not seeing the ads. Where are they? Why don't I see them?
I use Firefox, and I don't allow tribalfusion to run its scripts. Is that why?

Probably. There is a setting in Firefox to specifically allow ads on a particular site. I relaxed my vigilant anti-ad browsing for Schild's pocketbook the good of F13.

WTF? I clicked on save-vegas.com, entered my birthdate as Jan 1 1900 and was told I'm not old enough to view the site?
Dumbshit web programmers. So chinzy with the variable types, and so lazy to actually do it right.

Alternatively, you could take the view that they just busted your lying ass. |

You've got a new one that puts a "We need your help" box 3/4 the way down the screen. It scared me.

Yes. Blocked ads don't count as a pageview.
Furiously, can you screenshot that ad for me, thanks.

Again, they're paying for it.
Edit: I thought that ad blended in really nicely too. So much so I didn't notice it was an EA ad til you posted that.

Thank god. The first time it came up I was like WTF? I had to follow the ad to find out what it was (cleft pallete help). |

If you have a problem with IGE, you might want to know you have a flash add from them on the front page:  |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I blocked a shit load of IGE addresses. When they change they slip through. I'll take a look this weekend.

IGE ads are like crabs. Even the slightest contact can leave infected and scratching for days.

Bump.
I've twice now seen an add for MS Office 2007 ("the Ribbon") that has a flash animation that is about 600 pixels tall. It uses that height not to push down the content, but to play flash animations that float over it. It also produces a large dropdown on mouseover, although that's not nearly as annoying.
