Another hole in IE

[Marvin GodfatherofSoul Bellamy]

I've always thought the browser makers are in bed with advertisers.  I'm 
sure their biggest complaints relate to aggressive advertising tactics, 
yet the big two browsers provide little or no support for toggling any 
of these features.  Can you imagine being able to turn off graphics 
(read: ads) in IE?
