ATT - Stupid Ads on Websites
Smartphones - Complaint

Every time I go to read articles on certain websites (www.newscientist.com) this stupid AT&T ad pops up and you can't cancel it. It doesn't go away after even 5 minutes. you can't click anywhere else on the webpage because it goes to the AT&T site. There is no option to cancel. All you can do is try to scroll down to read parts of the article or close the webpage. Isn't this against FCC regs??? It should be! This is an insult and I take it personally. Does AT&T really want me to start a blog about my opinion of their advertising practices, or do they just want some of us to start boycotting their products LOUDLY?

Send your complaint to the website you are visiting. They have the power to remove the ad.

Also, clear your cookies on your browser. Cookies keep track of where you've been and will advertise those such sites. I agree tho, the MSNBC site has an annoying ad that pops up too all the time making your browser expand to cover it's large size, it's annoying!
