It seems that most of the once great Web is now overrun by ads, and some of them are really, really annoying.
I was wondering what some of you think the worst kind of advertising is.

If there's one I missed, tell me and I'll add it.

I really hate those pop-unders, and the Java and Flash ones too. The Java and Flash ones mess up the tab-orders really bad (see HardOCP)

I hate all of the pop-up/unders, and all of the ones that follow you. Flashing banners are annoying but you can scroll past them; same with Flash banners, although the Tab order can get to be very annoying at times.

I hate pop-ups/unders, people that know nothing about computers will leave them there for hours on end...

Add the X10 Mini-Camera, and Porn ads as a whole new catagory :)

The MOST annoying to me are the ones that offer corporate sympathy for the WTC/Pentagon/PA tragedy while informing me of buying opportunities.:disgust:
