Please, kind Sirs, why does our beloved game serve us advertisements which are only good enough to insult our intellect?

I'm sure there is a way to disallow certain ads. I mean adspam like this, for example.

Blinking GIF's is so 1998.

We can request that some advertisers be changed or removed. No guarantee that it will happen, of course, but we can ask. However, we have to know who it is. We need a link.

I hate to ask you to click through to capture the link in that ad, but surely you can right-click and capture it without going to the advertiser site. If you see it again, grab the link.

Certainly, Sir. I will keep you posted.

Edit: After a few F5's, I received the ad again. It links to a site called freelotto dot com. That site, of course, is mainly designed to get people's account information so that they may "claim your cash award now up to $2,087.56".
