Glad I'm not the only one! That's getting seriously annoying.

Definately annoying. Sad thing is, I keep closing it even though I know it will pop up on the next click.

Yes...get rid of it! Once is fine, but every time we load or reload a page is crazy!

I don't block ads at DVDTalk (it's against the TOS), but I agree...this one is out of control.

It's against the terms of service to have a popup blocker that comes with the software someone uses to view the website that then has popups? :s

Wow, I just checked and it IS against the rules to have popup blockers!

That would require my company to actually upgrade to XP. I don't see that happening any time soon.

Plus, I don't have admin access to install anything else that would help.

Consider my vote cast for eliminating the "Controversial Classics" pop-up. Once when we first log onto the site is fine, but not every time we go to a new forum and again when we click on a thread. Heavy-duty overkill.

I'm hoping it's just a mistake that this is popping up every time I click anywhere on this site.

I preordered the thing months before it came out... this fucking annoying ad makes me want to return it.

Seriously, what's up? Why won't it go away?

If I hadn't already bought the Controversial Classics set, this damn pop-up would keep from buying it, it pisses me off so much.

Actually, since I already own it, shouldn't I be exempt from having to see the pop-up?
