Wow, I had no idea the ads were so huge and invasive. It made me wonder how much Ralph Lauren spent to have their ads take what seemed to be over 50% of the on-screen real estate.

Just to be fair, many of the most intrusive ads I saw there were interstitials - they show for a few seconds then disappear.

That's the least of it. I edited out six full days where the whole page above the fold was an ad.
