I just visited an internet radio station and as the reggae was soothing my soul I noticed the station had adsense inside a box titled "Recommended". Additionally, next to the Adsense (inside the box) was a naked girl facing away with a smiley where her arse should be. I thought about mentioning it here for laughs. I hadn't thought of reporting it to Google though. Then I noticed the station had opened two windows in IE even though Firefox is the default browser. These windows were sized to zero. One was able to be maximized and guess what it was. Yup, an adsense block. The other you could not maximize and only had an ip address.
Anyone that causes Internet Exploder to open on my machine get's reported. Sorry.

I can only guess Google considers this ok. I guess if I contacted the advertisers and showed them what was happening the adwords team would do something. Google is all about the cash. Its true, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I say good one Powdork. Never hurts to do a bit of cleaning now and again.

This site doesn't play nice. It opens IE popups regardless of your default browser and whatever popup blockers you have if you visit from Windows Media Player. For some reason, it's not on the WMP main radio tuner interface any more, though I can imagine MS probably isn't too keen about sending folks to example.com. Last time I visited before posting I didn't get the popups, but it did manage to crash Firefox. Kind of have the feeling I should add an additonal layer of spyware detection and removal too.
