accidental advertising

So, does anyone else hate being advertised to with bulky ads that overlay on top of thread titles, links, and tabs. I don't ever read them, and the only time I click them is when I'm trying to access the thread that is being covered by them. Why do companies even advertise anyway, oh yea, there's plenty of idiots out there.

Yea I know just go ahead and move it to rant. I don't care. If any advertisers are reading this, I do write down and deliberately "boycott" companies that use these pointless advertising methods.

Am I the only one?
