That was a pretty good pun, assuming it was intentional.

The ads are beyond our control, though we often point out to the management that they are either idiotic, insulting, or just plain ignorant. Every now and then you'll find a jittery animated Windows "you won" ad at the top. Ignore it; maybe the advertisers will take the hint.

MacNN does not pick the ads that appear. However, tooki has said specific ads can be removed from the rotation, but only if the staff is alerted about it.

Because it never ceases to be bizarre how some companies will throw away their ad dollars.
