I can't stand going to The Greatest Page anymore because of that advertisement

against animal brutality. If I do I have to move my screen around and keep my eyes to the right just to not see it even though I've already seen it.

I shouldn't say I don't want it there I just wonder the wisdom of putting such a horrific picture of it up. Years ago I would watch these things and get motivated but now I just get real upset. I don't know what part of the world feels what but I think it would be interesting to know and if it is a preponderance of people who don't click on those type of pictures then they should be changed.

Besides, it is old and should be changed anyway. I know I am not in charge so you don't have to consider I think I am. I'm just expressing my opinion.

1. Curious... why don't you just block the ads?

2. Or even that specific one

I have adblock plus and turn it off for a lot of sites that I prefer to help support via the ad revenue, but it lets me say "I want to block this particular image/applet/animation."

3. Right click it in Firefox. I was grossing out, too.

Scroll down to Block Images from....

4. aquart, you made my day.

I didn't know you could do that.

I'm pouring you a cold virtual beer right now (because it's virtual, you can change it to your beverage of choice) :thumbsup: :yourock: :beer:

your cursor was over the picture but I got it!

Now... how do I block it on my blackberry?

8. Control-click

Same thing.

9. I hate that image too

but wasn't aware of the Firefox feature to block it. I'm going to use it post-haste. Thanks!

10. I'm with you.

It's a terrible image. The only other time I've been bothered so much by an ad was probably in 06 - 07 when there was a pic of Karl Rove. It was placed center left on the page so only the top of Rove's bald head showed (without scrolling down) and it looked like a naked butt. Every time I clicked on the page I would see this ugly bare ass out the side of my eye and then remember it was Rove's head, which made me hate the ad all the more.:rofl:
