I was wondering how many others are p****d off with the top page google ads on wrong planet? They slow my computer down and do my bloody head in. Especially that pathetic 'sexy stomach' advert. Being an aspie I want to come on this site to educate myself about my condition and not be held up by some stupid advert aimed at NT's.

Post here if you agree.

Easy to get rid of - use free open-source download Firefox www.mozilla.com/firefox/ for a browser and get Ad Block Plus add-on.

This site like every site live with ADS (at least I think so). Blocking them does no good to it.

just clicking on the "Support WrongPlanet Awareness" at the top of every page gives an opportunity to support the site. That is the only alternative to having ads support the site that I know of. Do you have an alternate way? Let us know!

Just download an add-blocker. That should take care of the problem.
