I'd like the ad removed but, failing that, is there a way to block offensive/grotesque ads on IMDB so kids (or sane people) can't see them? That horrendous FX ad of an eyeball being stabbed is popping up constantly, even when looking up perfectly innocuous things like old Shirley Temple films. It's disturbing enough to me, but I've been using this site since I was 12 so I'm guessing a lot of kids can be attacked by this garbage too.
