"I followed a link to your Krampus picture from my RSS feed.
What I got was the page, and a spinning CD picture on top of everything with *no way to close it!*
"So, I clicked and got some stupid survey site.
"Is Wired so desperate for ad revenue that they will place inescapable ads on top of your content?

(((Tim, I feel your pain over this issue; and given the warm feelings of the Christmas season, I'm thinking that it might, at least, help you vent that frustration if you flew over to Britain and torched a few dozen obtrusive, in-your-face, too-big-for-their-britches British traffic cams.
(((Come to think of it, there's more than a few of those in Austin, too – but they're really hi-tech and teensy and mounted way up on top of the traffic lights, where they're even more resistant to public intervention than the ad guys in the WIRED blog network.)))
