So.....we’re trying to support a website that promotes civil debate, timely information and intelligent commentary on current events.......yet we’re going to detract from the cleanliness and concise layout of the site by allowing stupid, inane, unrelated, cheap, garish graphics to detract from the tone and purpose?
The obituaries in my local online newspaper has a stupid weight loss ad and agraphic of a poorly drawn fat woman who shrinks and expands continually while one is trying to read the solemn details of the passing of friends and loved ones. It’s one of the most disgusting, sickening experiences to be subjected to such garbage on that page, nevermind any others.
Most sites that allow banner ads soon greedily allow half or more of available space to get taken up by such offal and it’s offensive, to say the least. As long as there’s a sight left that rises above that trash, that’s where I’ll be.

Good Lord,that would drive me nuts.
Have you ever contacted them about it?
