I don't think this is necessarily true. Attractive, non-animated banner ads are my "favorite" type of online advertising to encounter. Standard AdSense text ads are ugly and add so much clutter to the page because of the added text. If ads were usually like this, instead of resource-heavy Flash ads or ugly AdSense ads, I probably wouldn't use any ad blocking software. Static image banner ads are probably the only online advertising I have ever clicked or taken notice of.
