    Man its getting hard to navigate sites these days. I'm not talking about the banners on websites, those are ok. I'm talking when there are so many they take up most of the webpage. On top of that, they have them now where you can't even move your mouse because you'll open up another larger version of those ads. Like walking through a minefield.

    Is this what we're becoming? Where does it end? I know sites need to bring in revenue, but damn. It should be checked at some point. Its not just there either. TV is damn near impossible to watch without DVR. I'm sure they'll find a way around that too though.

    I wonder how long it will be until babies are named after corporations in order to get tax breaks and you won't be able to flush the toilet without being bombarded with ads.

    Capitalism on steroids. :mad:

    Use Firefox browser with adblock plus, script blocker, and flash blocker. Walla! No more ads.

    Don't get me wrong, I do. I also wouldn't mind adding an inch or so. Ha!

    Thanks for the Firefox tip. I'll look into that.

    Its not just that though, like I said it seems like we're getting worse and worse. I lived in England for a couple of years and their TV schedule is off because they show our shows without as many commercials so they end sooner.
