Go to OPTIONS/GENERAL PREFERENCES/ACCOUNT INFORMATION/PREFERRED CONTENT

Change your country settings (content source) to a different one – preferably an alternate English-speaking country, unless you like your ads in Mandarin.

Save prefs.

Now sit back and enjoy the completely comprehensible+irrelevant flash ads!

This doesn't 'block' the ads per se, but it sure makes them more interesting! For example, did you know that Vodaphone offers a Samsung E900+512 mb+bluetooth combo for FREE if you sign up for 18 months? It's a great frickin deal! BUT WAIT, it's UK only!

SEE?

IT'S SO STUPID, IT TOTALLY WORKS!

you're welcome!

Alright, this is almost as bad as merkins' 'I just found out someone you used to mess around with has an STD' SMS:

A spam I got today:
From: Mark
Subject: Dieting

This is not meant to be an insult or anything but people are talking at work about your weight.I thought you should know. I know it would upset you if you knew but I know some friends here and outside work that have used a program that worked within weeks. I am not pushing anything on you but thought it wouldn't hurt if you looked at it. I also think I am doing you a favor as it's always nice when people talk about how much better you look than how much you've been putting on. I hope I am not intruding, just trying to help out. My cousin & friend Mike used this and ithelped alot. Here is the site I know they got it from direct.

Again, I'm just trying to help out. Thanks for listening.

p.s. i don't like the tmn redesign. i once thought a more newpaper-like format onscreen was craveworthy, but with this and the nytimes redesign, i just find my eyes going all over the place.

p.p.s. do i have any right to criticize? i think this large format pic just crapped itself on our blogger template.
