The other issue with doing *ads* type stuff is some sites, for whatever 
reason, have those letters in places that aren't ads. Even if you do 
*/ads/*, you can run into issues. So, this isn't a really good 
approach. One example is when I did this with adblock in firefox, 
suddenly I couldn't see the download link at firefox's site anymore, 
which is quite amusing.
