Stop those obnoxious replicating matrix ads!!!

These were funny the first time I saw them, then started becoming unfunny at an exponential rate.

I just saw them the first time today; the horrible part is there no way to close them even out of the tool bar. Not sure if they are worse than "the Core" ads though...

Yes there is, as Elden already explained:

It says CLOSE in pale white writing at the top right hand corner of the add which is just slightly off the center of the page.

This is actually quite serious - I thought I had a virus or something in my computer, since the screen went all strange. I don't think that ads such as these help to sell the products, because we all get so frustrated and annoyed. Pop-ups should be quite easy to close, otherwise we all get sick of the product they advertise for (hint to any multinational companies which might chance to read this...)

BTW, there is another way of closing them - click on them, then quickly close the new window that opened.

I is worse than the core ad..thats the problem, the core ad you just turn of the speakers, the power ad ad you have to turn the computer off and restart it.....

No you just click the close button I mentioned earlier.
