I don't find googles text based adds annoying at all. What I do find annoying are stupid flash based ads or other image / bandwidth heavy adds that totally cram a page.

Luckily the adblock plugin for firefox is very nice. A few, well chosen wildcard filters blocks a shedload of them ;-)

FFS. There truly are some sad, lonely people out there that can get a kick out of such things.

@Itix

Are you implying that most of the members here would gladly do such things? :-?

Yep, Buddy Christ is in Dogma, I have seen him there too. Perhaps it's a cameo role :-D

Maybe it's a stretch too far, but is it possible there has been no actual 'abuse' and just a bunch of overkeen site users following each link that comes up?
