Can't stop the pop-ups | CNET News.com

I had read this article when it was first published but hadn't really experienced the full force of the new Pop-ups until this evening.

The offending advertiser was Best Buy. The offending ad server was serving-sys.com. The offending method was a "floating" Flash "pop-up". The offending Web Page was slate.msn.com.

I blocked serving-sys. Needless to say I'm not too happy with Best Buy over this. Conventional ads are fair -- everybody has to make a living. In your face floaters are not! I may just turn Flash off entirely again.
