It is so bad, so distracting, that until it is removed, I, for one, won't come back!

How do you expect them to make money without ads?

What's with her nose?

Yeah the ad is too in-your-face, but what really bugs me about it is the weird thing going on with her nose.  Bad retouch?

G1Huston, I see you are a Panny/Nikon user. If Sony's uncontested position in the spotlight so aggrieves you, I recommend you petition Panny/Nikon to bankroll a similarly impressive slew of advertisements.

I, for one, welcome the abashed full-page homage to Sony. The ads bring much-needed color and vitality to an otherwise drab website.

What ad are you talking about? I use Safari and Chrome and I've never seen any ad occupying half the page, just small ones at the top and down the right-hand side.

Same here, as I noted in another similar thread. ( Using IE and no adblock.)

This isn't your average ad. It's an over-the-top intrusive/distracting ad.

As a practical matter, over-the-top intrusive/distracting ads are counterproductive, because they encourage people to use programs like Adblock Plus.

I am using Adblock Plus so I don't see the ad.  I will take your word for it.

Country-specific?

It looks as if this ad might be country-specific: people in Europe don't see it, while those in the States do?

Agreed.  The size of the ad is hideous.

My state of confusion has turned into a circle of confusion.

Funny if this ad is intended to sell more SONY cameras ...

Wow.  Now I see what everyone is talking about.  I appreciate Adblock Plus even more now.

But how will you know when it's removed? :\

I lug my photo equipment everywhere. Is it heavy? Yes. Is it uncomfortable and cumbersome? Absolutely. Is it often an inconvenience? You bet. But is it all worth it? Sometimes...
