But, seriously, do these people never stop? Advertising should just be outlawed. Let word of mouth sell your product, depend on reputation of users/buyers determine how well your product sells, then we will get goods that sell well because they are good not because they are hyped. Never happen, of course. AdMuncher FTW.

All a website has to do is run an "integrity check" to see if a user is blocking there ads and then restrict the content provided to them. I applaud their creativity but fear this will have a detrimental affect on my net experience.
