Site Sounds
Dell Inspiron
If you mouse over the pc name above, you get a pop up AND a pretty darn lound song that will blast you out of your chair. Has it always done that and I've been lucky to not stumble on it before?

These pop-up text link ads are the stupidest, most annoying advertising invention I have ever seen.
That one is particularly annoying. I hadn't stumbled upon one with annoying music before. |

I've seen (or heard as the case may be lol) those on here occasionally and a number of sites. They annoy the heck out of me, but I don't see them that often though.

I uses a hosts file to block a portion of the ads out there. For instance, I don't see that contextual ad you're talking about. It elimates some of the obtrusive an annoying junk floating around out there.
