Have a problem with one advertisement

There is one ad that appears along the top of the page that I have a problem with.

It congratulates the forum visitor saying s/he is the 1,000,000 visitor and wants them to click so they can contact the Awards dept.

There is no identification of who the ad belongs to so a visitor might think it is anandtech itself is the sponsoring site, thus giving the visitor more reason feel the ad has more legitimate. It is for shoppingspree.com.

I hate this kind of advertising as it misrepresents itself and makes the forums seem less respectable.

I hope Anandtech will no longer accept such advertising
 
Hey, for what it's worth, I also have a problem with ads: I constantly see an "unable to connect" in the ad frame. (Hey, I'm not complaining, but if it results in less revenue for this site, I'm just sayin')
It appears to come from here: altfarm.mediaplex.com

(I use firefox and no add-ons to avoid ads, no hosts file, etc.)
 
🙁 No one wants me to see the ads... (currently displaying "Unable to connect")
