Two, I never understood why webmasters feel like they need to "apologize" for ads, especially on a free site, and especially just basic text/minor graphical ads. It takes time and resources to run any website, and users should expect, unless the site offers some sort of "Premium/Gold" membership that gets rid of ads, that there will be some sort of advertising component involved. Granted, popunders and layer ads, etc, do get people angry, but, I'm not sure who would have been angry over the Yahoo/Google text ads or Ebay links.

There was just an ad for Disney Princess Horse PC game or something and now there's a Kojak board game. Now, usually I don’t make double posts, but this thing is pretty funny.

I just loaded this page and now there's some NBA Showtime game for game boy. I think it might be a little confused. I’m a little worried, since it just showed me a ad for an N*SYNC game boy game.
