Masochists add Jimbo Wales to every webpage A sadistic add-on developer is offering a Google Chrome extension that slaps those solipsistic Jimbo Wales Wikipedia banner ads on every other website across the net. And masochists are rapidly installing the thing. Since the extension debuted over the weekend, installs have topped 3,000. "I love it!!!" said one masochist. " …
...the advert in the iPad version would be a lot easier on me. It's the whole "he's looking at me" thing. Especially since I usually sit around in front of the PC at home in old shorts and a very holey (not in the Catholic sense) old T-shirt. Dripping sweat - Australia is heating up just now and I am under a flat tin roof with no air-con. Nice sea breaze just starting to roll in for the evening, though. Need a nice cold drink from the fridge now.
Something about the WikiPedia ad with Jimbo's face really unnerves me.
And the fact that it always appears right between me deciding to click a link near the top of the page and my finger actioning that click is really irritating!
Both those things together were actually reducing my tendency to visit the site.

I actually sampled some of the tracks on the album in question, and it made the reviews even funnier.
I especially liked this one, from "Dogboy73":
"The Reason God Gave Us Ears...
Who would have thought that the pairing of such massive tits & Peter Andre could result in such musical perfection? Are Peter & Katie the new Sonny & Cher? Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton? Mulligan & O'Hare? These may be cover versions of classic & somehwhat obvious tracks. But on listening you'd be forgiven for thinking that they were written especially for this most likely of couples. Tracks hand picked for a match made in Heaven. We were already fully aware of Peter's talents in this department but what of Katie's talents? She certainly has the lungs for belting out the hits but the emotion conveyed on these 'offerings' is somewhat overwhelming. The results throughout are hugely moving, warm, honest & genuine as together Peter & Katie murder their way through the course of this album..."
Needless to say, I hit Google to get a little background on these two and, sure enough, Katie is quite... uh, shall we say, "healthy".
Log into wikipedia, select My Preferences, then the Appearance tab, and then choose "Custom CSS" in the entry next to your default skin, vector in my case.
Then enter -

(And a couple that apparently I'm not allowed to look at)
It is insistent, does he go away if you cough up? But also it is part of the web site and you should not block it unilaterally. But that sort of goes for all site-based ads. Then again, what if you use no-images bo!rowsing?
Anyway, you may use
