You know, I could stomach inserted ads a lot more if they were honest about doing them; something like "the contents of this box were placed by the owners of the free Wifi network you are using".
The infuriating part is that these ads are typically folded into original content as if the original page had the extra garbage in it. When you see an obnoxious ad, you're not thinking "well I guess I won't use this wifi again"; you think "well I guess I'm not going to this site ever again".
We desperately need a way to strongly sign each part of a page so that it is impossible to display a web site with any third-party content that wasn't explicitly added by the site owner (e.g. such as an authorized "Like" button). This naturally means removing i-frames and all other similar mechanisms from browsers, or at least making them a hell of a lot more obvious.
