The sucking Ads on a very frequented page

It is annoying to see ads in the pages you visit, but what is extremely annoying, disturbing, upsetting, and fires your anger is to see the same sucking ad every time, in a page supposed you are publishing something about you, in a place where can lead to mistake to your readers, with an ad content promoting something you really hate.
Consistently, e-cop, your ethics-cop, is gonna show you an example:
Look a screenshot taken from twitpic.com and take your time to locate the crap bullshit ad:

Politely, e-cop warned tweetpic, in its ethic-driven motto, posted a complain about this important issue, in the company technical service page, with sucking answer, dig it.

Fortunatelly, e-cop is here to give the solution.

save the following script in a local file:


<config version="1.0">
<page name="TwitPic - Ad" url="http://*twitpic.com/*" enabled="true">
<xpath comment="">/html/body/center/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[2]/div[7]</xpath>
</page>
</config>




If you use Firefox (you must upgrade inmediately in case you use the unpronounceable explorer), install the RIP addon from:

the RIP firefox addon

after restarting firefox, go to tools->options->rip options and press the "import rip..." button, load then the script you saved previously.

Job done!, visit again the twitpage or any other, and W00t!!, No sucking ads!!, anymore!!


One more time, e-cop, your ethic angel, saved innocent people from falling under the crappy advertiser networks.

god save the queen

Obviously, she is a victim of a vanity attack, emphasized with the fact that she has broadcasted her ridiculous popularity willings all arround the network.

Fortunately, e-cop, the ethic police of the network, detected it, and, consequently, replied a response with the following comparation, much better for a wannabe of poschness and popularity: Seeit here
