lol well i would say that would be the easiest way, but some of my clients use it as some sort of therapy to the outside world.

so i would say that isn't going to be a option,

i also don't changing the host file on the local machine will do it since al the ads url seem to be coming from Facebook.com

the only difference is they have a hella long url string after them and i mean like 90 to 120 chars

I've seen some greasemonkey scripts that hide them, but that's about it.

yeah i saw that also, just thought UT would of been able to stop them, i wonder if there is a string in there that is unique to all the ads, that i would be able to put into the Ad filter ban list to block them,
hmmmmmm i will report back, i dont know why i want to block them for actually, i have some ads myself on there for my business

go figure
