OT: Right hand banner ads are constantly "taking over" mouse control and opening a new tab pointed to the advertiser

Ha, right when I tried to type this out, a local car dealer ad opened in a new browser.

Car dealer ad and vacations to the Middle East- what the 17?

I dont know who Andy & Ari are, but I definitely wont listen to them now.
Also, one of em looks like a fat John Krasinski.

yeah, I have that as well, but my particular irritation is my mouse being constantly taken off of the reply box while I'm typing out my well-reasoned and spectacular takes, and the right-hand banner ads constantly kicking off a new tab. Browser based advertising has a similar place in my buying plans to crap blocking the aisles in Walmart. I ain't buying it. In this brief response, my typing was interrupted 3 times by the mouse being pulled out of the reply box and 4 tabs opened, Expedia, Animal Feed Solutions, Expedia, Ole Miss Online Bachelors...
