Here, one of the ways I have to kill ads is with my firewall.
It denies the ad server connection.
If the connection is denied, they may see it.
If the connection is made, but no data is transferred(images/flash/???), they may see that.

Do I care? HELL NO!
This is MY computer!
*I* pay for the bandwidth and *I* say what gets sent across my connection.
*I* determin what gets displayed on *MY* screen!

Sue me? Ha Ha! Byte Me!

They no likey? Tough shitsky!
Its your computer and I respect that, but then you can't expect websites to deliver good content.

We pay for bandwidth too, and our bandwidth costs a lot more then yours does. We have bills to pay too, and ad's pay those bills.
*IF* you cannot pay the bills with less intrusive ads and still deliver the content, well, I imagine you are destined to fail. Sorry!

Even if I did not block the ads YOU have, if they are so annoying that your site is an unwelcome ad farm, I will not go to your site!

Take your pick.
You slather BS ads everywhere, I either block them or go elsewhere.
Both scenarios, you lose!
