in rekaksois there's an upsetting column defending popup ads and tv-style 
web advertising:

http://www.rekaksois.com/kolumni.html/id/543

it's in finnish, but here's some highlights for the international public... 
says jani j�rvinen:

"i just can't believe that a popup is any more irritating than a commercial 
break in between a good tv movie"

"larger and more visible ads are needed, because the public is used to the 
fact that eg. newspapers don't have ads that are merely 1/16th of the page 
size"

"if all big commercial sites would commit to having a huge ad displayed at 
every fifth page load, people would get used to it and stop complaining"

i wonder if he's just being provocative on purpose?
