Salon Goes For Annoying Jump-Through Ads

Now they won't directly link to articles, but instead link to a Web Ad which then links to the article you want. I think Slashdot needs a new category just for Web Advertising." Not as if web ads weren't already becoming more annoying, but the companies that run Web ads are probably as interested in ads that people don't hate as you are in not seeing the awful ones. What can we tell them?

    Slashdot already does this. Taco gets on his soapbox and you have to read his biased opinions before you can get to read the actual news.

    I support any military action that my country may take to retalliate for the horror that has been inflicted upon it.

    By posting my comment in three pieces, I guarantee havoc with the moderators. THREE moderaters just to get me to shut up.

    Gee. Is there a way to make money with this idea?
