Go to weather.com sometime. They have the *worst* ads, perhaps only rivaled by M$N and salon.com's forced ad (although you get a free day pass that you can do every day to avoid paying for premium services ).
They're advertising for that stupid Incredible Hulk movie and not only do they shove it down your throat like the rest of their ads (DHTML / "Rich Media" ads), but it has loud sound (blasting over my CD playing) and literally shakes the entire window (thank you, M$, for yet another useless feature, but still refuses to natively support PNG transparency).
I will now refuse to watch that film (although I had no intention of ever watching it). But that poses a question. How many of you are actually influenced by these stupid ads...and how many of you will actually stay away from a product or service *because of* its ad?
