Ok, I realize the need for ad banners and popups. That's fine. But is there anything that can be done about the ones that suddenly fill up the entire screen with some animated thing? I'm speaking about the Special K and American Dream Derby ads. They go away eventually, but it's a real pain when what I want to click on is RIGHT UNDER the animation, and if I scroll (especially on the ADD one), it just scrolls with me. It's just a pain in the arse. And yes, I admit to being too lazy to click the "close" button.

I hate these ads too. I took a tip from someone on this forum (sorry, I forget who) that said: try hitting the "refresh" button, and they generally don't bother you again. It seems to work, but I really have no idea why.
