I don't know about everyone else, but the flash ads on AppleInsider with the cockroaches are really starting to get to me. It's like it's the only ad I ever get, and is utterly distracting. Anyone else feel this way?

    I get nothing but ads for the UK's Fastest Growing Singles Network.



    I can see how The Internet has deduced my location, but I'm not sure how it figured out I'm single.

    Not nearly as bad as the dreaded House Centipede. Now those are creepy.

    I hate all ads. Though I use Adblock, it still gives me trouble when I visit AI as I need to refresh several times to display the Board Index.



    Sometimes it starts loading and it loads forever... until I refresh, and sometimes it loads the index and keeps refreshing by itself until I quit Firefox and start it again.



    This only happens in AI so I'm guessing its some kind of a bug with the ads.

    I'm not very fond of roaches either, but when you need a joint, you need a joint.

    Ya, it's not really what I want to see. But it's much better than when AI had that add about child abuse and getting burned by the electric coil on the stove. I wish we could get back to the old days when people were more sensitive about these things.
