These Ads are awful!

Anyone else find these RealGM ads on both sides distracting???? One side, OK. Both. Ughhh! Making me a little dizzy. Reminds me of a NASCAR car. Every inch of available space covered.

They're really trying their best to drive people away.

Just brutal. Somebody has been giving RealGM some very bad advice.

Adblock is great I hear. Not that I condone it's use obviously; RealGM has bills to pay.

The ones I really dislike are the ones where if you scroll over them they pop up and take up 1/3 of the screen. It's almost impossible not to scroll over some of them.

Or when you click the 'x' on the ad it ignores that you're trying to close out and sends you to the site anyways.

I was debating getting TurboHD Dish Network, but because of these ads I refuse

I realize they have bills to pay, but of all the sites I read this design is THE WORST. Maybe there are others that are as bad or worse, and that's probably the main reason I no longer visit them. Again, I don't mind ads but this is a big mistake on RealGMs part.

What ads? Lol, just use firefox with a few of the extensions. i.e. Remove It Permanently, AdBlock Plus

Also, if you just make your window size smaller all you have to see is the banner ad at the top, and the one on the right margin without having horizontal scrolls bars. The really annoying stuff in the far right and left margin only show up if you have your window maximized and doesn't have to be displayed. At least thats how Safari renders it.

Thanks LSD! I added the AdBlock extension. That's 100% better!
