My new pet peeve

Websites that don't load until whatever stupid banner ad at the top has done all its stupid animations, chickens running across a field, Netflix DVD's flying themselves into your mailbox, etc. It's especially annoying when you're just hitting the "back" button or only interested in quickly checking the headlines (like who else Cheney's shooting) and you have to wait 10 seconds while some ridiculous ad prances across the screen. Granted, maybe I shouldn't be griping about this when the most offending website is people.com, but still! When a girl's gotta see pictures of U2 from the Grammys, these things are important!
