They do roll-over pop-ups with extra annoying video, etc. I'd think that they fall under the category that most websites consider "over the top" since it's easy to roll-over the stupid thing and not mean to. Should be a click type affair instead.

Is it just me, or are the GE banner ads REALLY annoying?

I just clicked on a Resolve coupon ad and it pulled up this...
We are not able to support coupon printing on your system at this time. The Coupon Print Activator is supported on Windows Operating Systems 2000, ME, XP and Vista when used with Internet Explorer Explorer 6.x and 7.x, or Firefox 2.x and 3.x. Coupon printing is not supported under Linux, Unix or Web TV platforms. Please try again from a machine that meets these requirements.
Why spend money to put up a ad like that on a site that is clearly targeted at *nix users?

The GE ad has been driving me nuts. I am glad I am not the only one to have noticed. I am fine with ads on Phoronix, but the GE one needs to die. I will most definitely block the GE ad, but leave myself exposed to all the other ones, because I would like to see Phoronix live into the future (being my favorite tech website.) Or... I could just go premium and not get any ads at all.
