Epilepsy Hazard
Please get rid of this one too:
It flashes in a manner which can induce seizures in non-epileptics (and if I'm any guide, manic depressives).
This is its URL:
media.fastclick.net...
It redirects to here:
consumerincentiverewards.com...

Maybe We Should Advertise For Some New Advertisers
It's a crappy deal all around, since you're forced to spend your valuable time playing whack-a-mole while members who just want to discuss conspiracies and alternative topics are forced to spend their valuable time investigating and reporting obnoxious ads.
Frustration for everyone, and problems we don't need.
I haven't seen the latest incarnation of the Dreaded Mosquito Ad, but it originated via fastclick.net as indicated in the OP.
I'm sorry I can't offer a fresh URL, but hopefully another member can. Certainly I will post a URL if I see that spawn of Satan again!
I'm hoping we can put a permanent end to these nuisances instead of finding ourselves playing Dutchboy and dike with ads that outnumber us, but I realize these things can take time and will, of course, do what I can to help.
In the meantime, I encourage members who come across obnoxious ads to capture their URLs and post them here.
It's not a pleasant thing to have to do, but it's better than nothing.
At least we can get a little sweet revenge on the bastards who are disrupting our otherwise calm, peaceful and idyllic website.
