Those f***ing jean ads
Does anyone else see those ads for Jean Machine or Silver Jean? You accidentally roll over them and then it's so difficult to get them to stop playing. Some chick just won't stop talking and it's ruining my music arrrrgh

End rant.

ABP has a hard time trying to remove it for me. Have to have lightning reflexes to hover on the ad, and then click the "Block" window before it vanishes after moving the mouse. Sigh.

I use NotScripts, it prevents scripts for all websites unless you allow them. Most of the time ads come from other websites than the one you are currently on.

Solution:

1. Get Firefox.
2. Get Adblock.

Problem Solved.

It works really well. I didn't even that facebook had ads until my friends started talking about them.

It's arguably the most annoying thing in the history of this site. Just saying.
