New banner ads on LSB

Did I miss a post or diary about the huge new ads on LSB and the rest of the network?

I went to the Dodgers blog to see reactions to the JD Drew situation and found this story on what's happening.  For you lazies:

we're putting up ads to try and fund a complete redesign of the sites (and therefore make the ads much more natural in the design).  These ads are just rotating placement ads to show big companies what the placement is like.

We're trying to make them as unobtrusive as possible, but we can't move the top banner ad.  That's the one advertisers are paying the most for right now.  We're going to try and make it more seamless in the coming weeks and less obtrusive, but for now, it's going to stay the way it is.  As for the ads in the middle of the post, well, I thought those were pretty obscure and advertisers also love those for some strange reason.

I don't see any ads because I have Firefox and the AdBlock extension, so I'm pretty much 100% banner free.  I had to go to Internet Explorer to see just how big they are!

Did I ever mention that I love Firefox and will find any excuse to tell people about it?

Firefox is okay
Janky and buggy as shit though. I can only imagine how buggy that adblocker thing must be, since most of the simple extensions dont even work right.
Let me be the first to say...fire Ron Washington.

I never see ads
MSIE with AdMuncher. Even better it now doesn't leave a blank space where the ad "used to be".
