Is there anyway I can remove that disgusting vegetarian AD?

[SayitAintSo]

The one that says WARNING gruesome video...etc....

[Phentex]

1. firefox

will remove the pictures

2. Or you could just keep up your donor status.

I haven't seen the ad, I'm a 20+ year vegetarian, and I can honestly say that I really don't approve of most of the ads that use shock imagery to get the point across. They all seem like they're trying to get hunters to stop hunting by showing them pictures of deer being shot and falling down - they've got video arcade games that exist just for that PURPOSE!

On Edit: The naked chicks in shrink wrap trays would be okay if they weren't covered in fake blood.

3. Seriously ? Get my star back and the gruesome stuff disappears ?

4. No -- I have my star and I still see that ad.

[HopeHoops]

5. Really? Shit. Maybe I blocked it in Firefox without thinking about it.

I refuse to use IE - too huge a security hole. Using IE is like giving bin Laden access codes to the trajectory settings and launch authorization for your entire nuclear arsenal. Just don't do that.

6. I'm using firefox now ... can you block specific ads? n/t

[HopeHoops]

7. AdBlock Plus plug-in. I usually truncate the URL to the source (http://something.com) to block all.

Blocking individual ad URLs is almost useless - they just keep changing them. Block the whole fucking site.

9. Right click on the ad, and you will get a prompt asking you if you want to block

images from the domain/web site.

11. Bingo!!!! Thanks - worked like a charm! n/t

8. The shrink wrap gets in the way a little bit, too...

10. It isn't pretty (well, the girls are) and it isn't going to convince anyone to stop eating meat.

Hell, I don't even like the approach and I was a vegehegian before it was popular. My daughters (15, 17, 19) are all life-long vegetarians by choice. It is definitely a healthier way of living, but you aren't going to convince anyone to switch by looking like a tray of ground beef.

12. delete.
