Hey guys, a few times recently I have been browsing the site and all of the sudden some weird combination of turkey noises and tribal drum music has been playing without warning through my speakers.

I have discovered there is some kind of ad at the bottom of the page that causes this, not sure if anyone can get rid of it, but if you can, please do. It's annoying as all hell.

I totally agree. The ads are over the top and physically painful. I know this web site has to be paid for somehow, but considering who this site is for can't something to be done to make the ads less invasive? It's bad enough that many ads have movement visually. That is distracting. The ones that play sound automatically though with no visible way to mute them are very obnoxious. I don't want to cause this web site any trouble, but if it were any other web site I would contact the products or services mentioned in those ads to complain about the way they are marketing their product. I would tie up their phone lines or flood their email with complaints as payback for the pain they cause me.
