That Mad Men advertisement is really annoying.
I understand that the site needs income and advertising provides that. But I've accidentally crossed that advertisement a bunch of times with my cursor and EVERY time it pops up and starts playing a commercial. It doesn't help that it's in a really bad spot where you're very liable to roll over it accidentally going up and down the page. For whatever it's worth, I've definitely decided to NOT buy the dvd and probably won't be watching Mad Men if I get the chance.
There's too much intrusive crap on the internet as it is, it's a real drag to have to keep dodging that thing before it pops up yet again while I surf on DU.

2. Perhaps you could provide DU a small donation of support
which will make those ads vanish.

3. What browser are you using?
I'm on Firefox and with the Adblock Plus add-on there's no more ads on DU.

5. The word 'income' in your message block has an ad for video games.
I'm beginning to detest all the little red underlined words in the various posts.

6. The Crisco thing is driving me nuts
But I love DU too much to let that get in my way of gathering news here.
