What are the most annoying ads in your opinion?
To me it's the ads made from flash that can't' be stopped unless you find the X button.. lots of them on one of my favorite websites, espn.com :(

The ads on yahoo launchcast. Especially before when they only had one sponsor. I think it was gecko.com

I have popup blocker, and at work, all ads are blocked, so I don't even know what you're talking about. :mrgreen:

With Firefox I barely get any, so I would have to say those.

The ones that pop up and when you close them another pops up. I have a popup blocker so it doesn't really affect me anymore.

Mostly the "Do you want to increase your size by up to 2 inches?" pop-ups. I can never figure out what they're talking about. :oops:

I had a weird ad that wasn't a pop up, but some woman would randomly start about going to college whenever I went to certain sites. It was so loud too and it cut out across whatever music I had going.

yea firefox is pretty decent, and plus in IE is weird, so this makes it even better
and the adds on nba.com and espn are annoying because some of them still manage to popup somehow
