Surely someone\u2019s noticed these inappropriately placed ads already.<\/p>\n

I’ve been following Gizmodo<\/a>‘s in-depth earthquake \/ tsunami \/ nuclear reactor coverage since the disaster struck and have done my best to ignore these Old Spice<\/strong> banners. Chalking it up to unfortunate media glitch.<\/p>\n

But now almost a full week later the exploding, mushroom-cloud volcano-head ads, with the promise to “Become one of the freshest smelling places on Earth<\/em>” are still there.<\/p>\n

In all of Gizmodo<\/strong>‘s techno-geekery they can’t devise a method for omitting these ads on all pages tagged\/mentioning Fukushimia Daiichi<\/em> or something? C’mon, Giz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
