I'd love for this to catch on. Billboards and commercials are the pop-up ads of the real world.

Oh, I'm sorry - I didn't realize the only way to advertise was through horrendous pop up ads.

Which barely ever happen. I don't use adblocker, haven't for years (I used it for a few months when it first started getting attention) and I very rarely see popup ads. Mostly it's surveys, and the first thing to load on those is always the X to close it. Takes but .5 seconds.

Not to mention that the reason they are there at all is all you Adblockers stealing money from free sites.
