Magazine and TV ads (Score 1)

Well, I quit buying _any_ American or UK computer magazine after Byte died because the rest is filled with ads (read: like 90% of pages in a darn magazine) of no relevance or interest - when I buy computer stuff I go online to find the best prise and order there. I couldn't care less for mail-order companies in obscure locations in the US or UK.

TV ads are different story - I've tried to play around with screen blanking detection to skip over ads (as at least in Finland they don't send any "ads begin" or "ads stop" PDC-signals to automate ad skipping) and unfortunately the best way of ignoring ads is to run off to the fridge when they begin and try not to miss too much of the show you're watching before getting back. And the worst thing is that the TV companies here raise the volume level with ads trying to make sure that you will _atleast_ hear them from the fridge... Argh!

Website ads I block because
a) I can
b) I don't _want_ to win anything by punching a monkey
c) I get migrane from those irritating blinking squares
d) I hate when Flash/JScript ads enlargen to cover half of the article I'm just reading and won't go away in Firefox
e) The relevance of ads lim -> 0
