Complaining about annoying ads?

Feb 14, 2006 2:33AM PST

I thought it was very interesting on the Feb. 9 Buzz Out Loud podcast that Tom Merritt and Molly Wood were complaining about obtrusive advertising. They complain about those ads that pop up in front of what you are trying to read when you open a page. Funnily enough, though, Cnet.com itself has commonly had those type of ads. About a week ago I went to open up a story and the exact annoying type of ad came up for Intel chips or something... Hypocrites.

Just kidding, I still love the podcast.

Man, I just about had a cow when I saw the annoying ad that used to be to the right now in the middle of my screen.

No sir, don't like it
