Am I the only one getting an annoying popuo vide/audio ad for Saint Lucia?

Me too... and it IS annoying.
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

I got it to.  I'll see what we can do about it.

True. Costs have dramatically gone up as the site has continued to grow.  However, it would be nice to get to the point where we can start reducing the amount of ad slots.

It scared the crap out of me the other night... I didn't realize there was audio; i opened metrojacksonville then opened another internet tab at the same time and then heard the advertisement going on.  I literally thought I had people in the room with me talking about St. Lucia.

It's not the ads themselves, it's the sound of the ads that need to go.

Like JU, I have MJ open up with about 5 other tabs as my homepage, so even though I'm not looking, I'm hearing.  And so are my coworkers, my boss, the coffee delivery guy, the fed ex chick....

Can the ad be smaller and out of the way, or at least provied an option to close it!
