I agree

1. Stop using Internet Explorer
2. Download Firefox 2
3. Get the Adblock Plus Plugin and you will never see that crap again (I have yet to see an ad since I started using this).

-edit-

And I know Ben will come on here saying how much he hates Adblock for obvious reasons but whatever. It's crap like those damn sound adverts (I haven't heard the iPod one, the last one I saw was the mosquito one) that makes me use things like Adblock and Flashget. I can handle your everyday adverts, but when they start taking control of my mouse, making random noises, open in new windows, resize my browser, and show borderline porn, I have to screw you to those advertisements.

 Besides, as an added bonus with Firefox 2 it spell checks for you.

 i didnt know there was an upgrade to adblocker.. ther old version didnt block flash ads. 

Uh...I use Adblock...

Not that you should or anything...we certainly need the ads' support...

But yeah...I don't know what ads you guys are talking about, since I haven't seen a flash ad in months.

Much like Ben, I've never seen that ad. Are ads region specific? browser specific? I did use to see the fart button, but I definately don't get this one.

 Whoops, I thought I had seen some mod complain about Adblock hurting the site because it takes away revenue and thought it was you.  >_>

I use Adblock and Flashblock (said Flashget for some odd reason in my earlier post). I don't know if Adblock Plus gets flash adds (assume it does since I don't see the Flashblock button) but if it didn't, Flashblock blocks every flash from playing automatically unless I tell it to play (little play button over it).

My BBCode was showing

Adblock = the bomb fizzle!
