I disagree. Yes, one could do that, but it is the responsibility of the site (FlyerTalk, in this case) to better screen their advertisers to make sure that this does not happen in the first place. I use FireFox and have not seen this, but the idea that this could happen now is unacceptable.

Cheers.
