If you use Mozilla or Firebird (you might know this already) there are some plugins that can help quash this sort of thing.
One of them stops embedded flash from loading and gives you a button on the screen that you can click on if you want the plugin to load. It works great for speeding up download times and preventing annoying flash ads.
Another one called ad-block, can be used for blocking images and embedded flash and all sorts of other stuff based on regular expressions. I'd definately reccommend it, I've been using it about a week and already based on the info I've given it I rarely see any ads.

That's what I'd like to know, they're playing platform fascism again.
