Default What's with the girl in her undies?

This is going to sound whiny, so I'll apologize in advance, but can we ditch the ad on the left side with the girl in her undies? I have nothing against girls in their undies, nor am I prudish, but I like to be able to read this site when it's slow at work and that ad makes me nervous.

edit: When I first submitted this, that ad was the first thing that popped up and is also showing on the edit screen. You can't win!

Use Firefox with the ad blocker extension. Speeds up browsing considerably and you don't have to be inundated with ads.

I have Firefox at home, but installing Firefox at work is not an option.

Same here, and I have no problem with it at home, just work.

Doesn't IE have an adblocker of some sort? I don't know, I don't use IE but surely there's something... isn't there?

When you find an AD like this, drop Steve a mail with the URL of the site. That allows him to prevent that AD from comming up ever again.

You weren't missing much, SmellyOrc. Believe me.

I was more worried about the boss than anything, but it really wasn't that exciting.

I found the URL for the ad and blocked it. Thanks for letting me know about it. Keep in mind that not everyone sees the same ads.

Thanks, Steve! I wasn't sure if you could do something or not, but I'm glad it's gone now. I kinda' figured that wasn't really the image you're trying to project anyway. If I see anything else, I'll drop you a PM.
