BLB, you'd get a better response if you didn't belittle people (any sense) before evangelising a possibly good thing. The "literally killer" phrase is also annoying; I didn't think you meant literally "kill -9 29323", but it evokes the idea that someone died from executing (re:earlier post) javascript.
It seems that whitelisting javascript publishers would work pretty well, at least in the short term. Eventually, web site publishers would have to switch to serving ads from third party ad networks on the publisher's own whitelisted URLs.
A popular extension for FireFox is AdBlock, which allows the reader to black list URLs with regular expression patterns. AdBlock works very well once you have a decent black list.
The company I work for is one of the largest ad networks on the Internet. We serve over 9 Billion impressions per month. In a face near you.
