I have no problem with, and to some degree actually LIKE and even click on google ads. However, the video ads are an unwelcome drain on resources and they are the sole reason that I have taken "extraordinary measures" on my home computer to prevent them from appearing. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to do the same on my work computer.

I know you mods don't like it when I say that but I'm sorry, I'm not going to let me computer slow to a crawl so that Clorox can play a 1:00 minute pitch for their wipes or some dumb crap like that.
