    Can the “fat” ad be blocked somehow

    I am tired of looking at the miracle fat burning pill ad, and am wondering if it can be blocked somehow. Is anyone else disturbed by it?

    Get me a link for it (Right click on it & select 'copy link address') and I'll see if they'll block it.  No guarantees though.

    I don't like those fat ads too.
    Today there was an ad banner about slimming your stomach that froze my computer.
    Tell those techs to get rid of that one too, please.

    HSH I found two besides the one that Sawhet asked about - one across the top of the page and one to the right, I've asked them all to go.

    Yes, it’s back. Ick!


    I don’t mind most of the ads I see here. I understand that advertising helps pay for the website. The ad for the miracle fat burning pill is really tasteless, though, and I wish it would go away.

    Unfortunately I am on a Mac behind a firewall that will not allow me to download an ad blocker.  I have no choice.  Well I guess I could stop coming here but I dont wanna.  LOL
