Worst ads on the Net

Popups, popunders, etc.

What's the worst of the worst?

To start with, take a look at this annoying ad for the Motorola Vbox on this page:

http://www.canoe.ca/TelevisionLetterman/mar6_dave-sun.html

It pops up on every mouseover, even after repeated closing. Closing can only be effected by a close button in a counter-intuitive place. They even place a "more info" + button where the user would expect the Windows x close button.

This ad even pops up when you have Panicware's popup protection activated.

This ad drives me nuts!

gg Java. If you disable Java, it shouldn't pop up.

X10 ads piss me off more than anything. In the entire world. I wish death upon the creator of those ads.

Luckily, with Mozilla, I never see them at home anymore. But they are the most irritating ads. Ever.
