There is nothing I hate more in my daily routine than logging onto weather.com to check my local hourly forecast and being assaulted by an obnoxious woman in a pink dress dancing around like an idiot. I absolutely hate these ads! Marketers need to understand that a lot of people, such as myself, will go out of there way not to use their product if the advertisement is annoying and terrible. I often go to the extent of closing my right eye or blocking out the portion of the screen with the dancing woman in order to check the weather without her interference. Why, weather.com must you force this upon me?!?!

Thanks Bill, editing the hosts file worked like a charm. I absolutely despise those ads.

They catch my attention, but not in a good way. I will Never use thier service. EVER.

The newest one, a human in a dress????? dancing (can’t tell any more than that, gender appears male though) it’s irritation beyond tolerance.
