This is how MySpace looks like when you use a crappy browser, and have nothing in place to block ads:

There is a pretty easy way to fix this, and not have to see any of the ads on MySpace. Simply follow these instructions:
1) Download and install Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com. Firefox is an alternative to the Internet Explorer browser and is considered by millions of users to be faster and more secure.
2) Once Firefox is installed, download and install the “Adblock Plus” extension from http://adblockplus.org/en/installation. This plugin will allow you to subscribe to a filter that keeps track of the latest ads.
3) Subscribe to the “EasyList” filter after Adblock Plus is installed. This filter is updated daily with the latest ads.

Problem is, Harris County says that no such ticket exists. This doesn’t bother me by any means but now I’m worried about the ticket showing up at the last second and turning into

So, while writing this post I decided to check the site again since I hadn’t looked in a few days. Sure enough, my ticket is there. Thanks, Harris County! I knew you’d pull through for me!
