How long should we wait? I waited a minute. I read this article yesterday and didn't see the ad then either. Perhaps I have something disabled in my security settings.

Wow! I thought I wasn't going to get it because I got a request to install Flash 6, which I declined... but then he walked across...

It made me think of those pop-up ad busting software that one can now download. We need one step further... a First person shooter to blow the ad, and this annoying little man away. THAT would be satisfying.

I never saw it. I think my Norton software blocked it out.

I hardly ever see ads like that because once I see one on a site, I'll never return.

The ad is undeliverable it says something about doing your taxes and it is a project waiting in the background....wish the ad loaded in the background.

The most amazing thing is the actual article...what are they going to confiscate next...and what is the IQ of the people that are doing this.... I understand the need for high security, but a the expense of common sense...pllleeeaaasssseeee
