This type of thing wont look good for WP at all

I have the box...

Has Autism Speaks run out of money? Surely monitoring aspies for future based propaganda is worth a large sum on its own?

Greedy buggers dragging us all to hell

Don't know what Autism Speaks has to do with this. The box should be gone anyway.

Perhaps for users such as myself, who are distracted and irritated by bright moving flash ads, it would be possible to introduce an ad free site only accesable by those who donate?

I notice in the last update to adblock that there was an added option to allow 'non intrusive' advertising. I thought that was a good development. I checked to see I had that enabled (I do), but it seems that I'm still not seeing any ads at all.
