Freep.com needs to start respecting web users

Here's the deal.

I've been slowly getting more and more annoyed by Freep.com. And it's not about editorial content.

The owners apparently have let the sales force run amok, allowing such glaring web violations as:

• Ads that play sound automatically without user interaction
• Giant fold-down ads so if I make the mistake of moving my mouse I get my entire experience ruined by a giant ad I must wait to close
  
• Unnanounced surveys with no clear option to not participate

Stop screaming ads at me already!

I don't mind ads. I even like some ads... but don't force interaction on users. It's bad usability, it's bad practice and bad taste.
