I got forced to an ad again and couldn't get back out - this was the URL of the original site. When I tried to leave this one it forced me to another one that I couldn't copy for some reason. It kept bouncing me between the two sites until I closed my browser and started over. The second one had a heading on acai berry and Fox news.

Yep, that one is pretty tenacious. I get out of it by clicking ok and when it comes right back click ok again and lets me go.
Kohl's has one that is almost as bad.

Onderchic, what ad blocker do you use? I've tried a few but they conflict with the antivirus my IT guy has running on my work laptop.
