it’s pretty dumb, but their ubiquity seems to be an obvious indication that they’re what’s paying the bills at BB Headquarters. I don’t have cable, so I don’t watch any of the shows being reviewed, which would be probably even more annoying to me if I still browsed through the main page. But thanks to @gwwar 's awesome script (the second one in the link,) I browse straight from bbs.boingboing.net/new
and just mouse-over the headlines that seem interesting–no more scrolling. so, given that, they’re much easier to ignore. I’d say that’s your best option because as per my first sentence, I doubt they’re going away at this point.
