OK the bleeding pig ad has finally pushed me over the edge!

[peace13]

I try not to block the ads because DU can make an extra nickle on them but I can't take it any more. Advice please on how to block the darn thing. Thank yous in advance. Peace, kim

1. I have no idea what you're talking about because I'm a donor to DU.

4. Me too. : )

11. So am I but for some

reason, on this computer the ads on the side still show up? On my home computer they don't and the settings are the same.

2. Are you talking about Google ads?

If so, edit your preferences and turn them off.

3. Ads by blogads?

I will check that out. I usually can ignore the darn things but that one is just gross! Thanks for the help. : )

5. It's a video showing how horrendous factory farming is...

How horrible animals are treated in meat processing.

I saw it: it's not pretty. But then, it's not suppose to be...

6. Yes and the bloody lump of flesh in the ad is disturbing.

I tried to opt out in preferences but it didn't seem to take it off of the homepage. Hmmmm.

15. i wouldn't watch the vid or see the ad

it's much too disturbing....and it's the reason i cannot eat any kind of meat (i'll eat seafood). i'll never forget driving on a highway in spain and passing a truck filled with pigs (who you know were being sent to a slaughterhouse). i haven't touched meat since then.

7. If you're using Firefox

Right click on the picture and do "block images from..."

I finally had to do it as well because of this stupid ad.

The ad is displayed on the "My DU" page along with other pages on the site no matter whether you're a donor or not.

14. Amen

I went and got AdBlock myself after a while. I got so damn sick of seeing the Caribou Barbie ads or the Newsmax ads everywhere I went, from weather to Stephanie Miller's site. I tried to adjust my preferences not to see such ads but that didn't work. So I just decided F it and put adblock on.

16. Too funny!

Thanks for this!
