Comments lead to a few interesting methods on how to stop these things.
I personally have noticed these quite a bit lately. I'm one of those types that just ignore ALL ads completely so I'd like to hear what exactly constitutes a 'proper' way to advertise things.

I dont get bothered by popups anymore.

my browser stops them all and so does my Firewall...

My pop-up blocker stopped that page from loading

That is strange I haven't seen a pop up in a very long time.

Thank the world for Firewalls and permissions.

So, looks like IE is the browser to have then, when you add the security flaws found recently.
This I find hilarious.

Firefox users:

Check out http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/007860.html &
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/experimental/popupsdie/,
for pop-up (and under, and perhaps also at the side and just to the left a bit) blocking loveliness. Be sure to read the first url before installing.

Use ancient chinese torture techniques that inflict masses and masses of pain but dont kill them and keep them alive (barely) and carry on doing this for the rest of their living days.

Can use that for chavs also, I deem it an appropriate punishment for being nothing more than an arsehole to this planet we call earth.
