Install <a href="https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-us\/firefox\/addon\/adblock-plus\/" target="_blank"> AdBlock</a>. Problem mostly solved.

You could also install the <a href="https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/addon\/flashblock\/" target="_blank">Flashblock</a> add-on, which keeps flash content from even loading. As a bonus, this speeds up page loading.

Finally, to shut down html5 videos, there's a configuration switch (plugins.click_to_play) built into Firefox. Type about:config into the url bar, find it, and toggle it. Or install the <a href="https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-us\/firefox\/addon\/click-to-play-switch\/" target="_blank">Click to Play Switch</a> add-on, which makes it a tad easier to do.

No doubt some asshole programmer will find some new way to ram unwanted content into your face, but for now, a combination of the above three fixes does the trick.

Do any of these right wing nutz understand Israel was founded as a SOCIALIST country?

"Kibbutz" doesn't mean watching other people play a game while offering them advice.

"Sharkey...appeared caught off-guard and struggled to respond to the question."

Because it was the world's dumbest question?
