Rip off?  NO WAY.

I don't have to view pornography.  I can "filter" it to pervent it
from coming into my home.  Same principle applies for any other
information content coming into my home.  I can filter it any way I
want.  In my home, my right to privacy supersedes any advertisers'
rights.

PHK's magazine analogy was correct.  I don't have to look at ads if I
don't want to.

Put the code in.
