Wikipedia is an icon of the free media -- commercial ads remove us from the free media, and make us quite the hypocrites.
What rubbish. Free doesn't mean "non-commercial", it means "free to use, modify and copy."
As a longtime free software and free content advocate, I'm really fed up of this illiterate opposition to use of advertising to fund Wikimedia's servers
Some people must think servers maintain themselves, and that bandwidth is a costless commodity, and that people answer phones on a volunteer basis... That is a joke right, especially in the US!
