...but an ad for Windows XP on the front page is just a little too... unsavory for my tastes.

Yeah yeah, I know, but it was more of just a general thought, a conversation starter if you will, than a complaint I wanted addressed. I unistalled pith helmet, so now I'm seeing all those banner ads that I never had to look at before.

I hate the roach one... Makes me thing of the extermantor... or just closing the screen

[MacMan4000]

the ones that say "shoot the [insert bad thing here] to win a free ipod" really piss me off.

I never see the banner ads on most pages; not because I have anything to block them, I just subconsciously tune them out.
I only ones I register seeing are those which are inserted into an article I'm reading.

Be glad that you don't have ads of (shoot) the idiot on his cell phone in the theater...while your browsing experience is constantly interrupted by the sound of a cell phone going off every 2 seconds.

The "shoot the outlaw" one is the coolest. If you click around him, you can shoot without it clicking the link.

The shoot ones are so stupid. There is one where no matter where you click "you win".

Anybody actually get their free iPod?

I don't want to alarm anyone, but I think I may be broadcasting an IP address...

I do love the Adblock extension for Firefox. I can block out the flash ads, the ones embedded in iframes and even the google text ads. On the sites I frequent that have annoying banners, I block out all ads on that specific site.

anything to make macnn some money is cool with. i never clicked on them anyways so they don't ever bother me, except for the ad with the chick who talked...that one sucked

me too! Sad thing, I actually thought of some people that could relate to it.

I actually liked the bee banner, but hated the cockroach one.

The worst of all, are the ones that either start talking to you or make some other kind of noise.

What a sad world we live in.

Has anyone signed up for the free iPod photo and Soundsticks?

The bottom line is macnn has to pay for bandwidth somehow and this is the best way of doing it.

That was the sound of a thousand advertising execs saying "aha!"

the correct term is sociopath.
