The Circuit City pop-up almost makes

[spotbird]

DU unusable.

Advertising is necessary, but this is out of control.

On edit:

There seems to be a consensus in the comments that my experience is unique, which I'm very happy to hear, for the most part.

Any suggestions to make it go away? I have antiviral, and, I thought, anti-spy ware protections, so what is the problem?

1. A donation makes them go away.

DU is worth giving a few bucks, and likely so is ending your frustration.

3. The pop-up is punitive

it will not be effective in the long run.

On edit:

It makes me far less likely to patronize Circuit City. Who likes a business that is so obnoxious?

2. Donate.

Then download the "ad blocker" software. Problem solved.

10. I logged out

and still don't know what pop-up you're talking about. All I saw was a bunch of McD ads.

11. I have no idea what you are referring to.

I've never seen a pop-up on this site.

[spotbird]

12. Maybe I have a spy-ware problem

there is a Circuit City banner that expands to the whole page, over and over.

It's good to know that this isn't sponsored by the site.

14. didn't circuit city go belly up?

just wondering.

17. Circuit City Can Still Afford Ads?

I hope Skinner demanded cash in advance from them.
