If adserving companies didn’t run such slow webserving plants that they didn’t block pages from loading, I wouldn’t mind so much. But I do, and I can make this problem go away.
nidump hosts / > hosts
vi hosts
edit the file to have adservers synonymous with the loopback interface:
127.0.0.1 localhost ad.doubleclick.net ar.atwola.com
niload -m -v hosts / < hosts
