I use AdBlock Plus and have NoScript handy as well. I guess this isn't very much of use to me but it's a nice touch.

gmax told me to use back button and post it here.

The Gamespot front-page ad of Battlefield 3 implies that the site MSNBC.com has somewhere stated Battlefield 3 being the winner against Modern Warfare 3. This seemed strange to me since neither of the games are even out yet, so I looked into it. By search at msnbc.com with the phrase "Battlefield 3" I only found one article about it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41196567/#.ToWESNSXeSo
Here's the image used in the ad:
I already used the "ad info" link that I found over it and input feedback on the site it took me to, but it did not seem to be meant for feedback about the information contained in the ad. The ad info link is http://www.cbsinteractive.com/adfeedback/?REDIRECT=TRUE&RGROUP=19761&SEGMENTID=545325&LINEID=437795&SP=242&ADVERTISERID=369 (I do not know how to copy the link from the ad itself because it's in flash format and the only options a right-click brings up are "Settings", "Global settings" and "About Adobe Flash Player ")

Your Street Fighter x Tekken ad is creating a pop up to their site. The "Click Here" to go to your intended page is acceptable, but if I leave gamespot open in a TAB it will auto pop up every so often distracting me from my work etc. Why are pop ups from ads even permitted? I seriously don't know any other legit site that uses them, because it forces the user to open a web pages that is not controlled by the site itself.

GUFU - we are the 1%
The mortal kombat ad is literally ruining my enjoyment of this website. I would screen cap it, but it crashes my browser every time its up. There is a thread on it on the general tech forum, but with no answers. If it appears on a forum thread, the whole layout of the thread goes nuts and shifts to the right, off-screen, making the user scroll over to see the posts. All other times while it is up, it slows your browser way down, prevents links from working and new tabs from opening, leading to crashes if you dont close the tab it is on asap. It needs to be taken down asap.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

Managed to grab a screenshot of it. This only shows how it makes the layout go haywire however, it doesn't show how it completely cripples your browser down to 56k speeds. I wont be visiting gamespot for a while until it is gone, it's too infuriating.
