WTF with the Neal Boortz header gizmo?

If that's something the site admins actually chose to put up, and not jsut paid advertising you can't do anything about, let me just say it's as annoying as all Hell.

Agreed.  For every leap forward in computing power there is a 4 fold leap backward in some ad's ability to **** up the interweb.  Where the hell is alBore when we need him?

I could give a rat's hindquarters about Boorts himself one way or the other, that isn't the problem,  It's the ad popping back in on my screen every time I change pages that's pissing me off.  It could be a "Ronald Reagan for Rushmore" ad and it'd still be just as irritating.

If I vote, will it go away?

Boortz it up against NPR's This American Life.  If you've never heard it, it's an irritating little show run by some irritating little man from Chicago (or New York) with plenty of left-wing cliches about middle America.

It's irritating as hell.

Please make it go away.

The fact that is taller than most ads is annoying too, I have to scroll down to see posts and such.

I think what pisses me of most about it is that it is included on the spell-checker.....makes it take forever to load.........

Does anyone else find the current banner ad for Evony to be distracting?
