As far as the brain concerned they are no different. See [[Priming

Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] Advertisements?
You kinda got me concerned when you said "pops up" but then I read the
rest
of the sentence. It also got me thinking.
Pop-up ads would be better than in-line adds. Granted more annoying but
would be less of a compromise from NPOV. Basicaly we would cover the
screen
with the ford logo rather than put the ford logo in the middle of the
page.

Oh, I have no idea.
This question pops up in the community from time to time, and the press
loves the question.
One of the concerns I have about this whole issue is that it can be such
a "third rail" to even discuss it or look into it. I think that's
unfortunate. My longtime position is that we should really make sure we
have a very good idea of how much money we are turning down before we
turn it down. (Including various variants such as one-click permanent
opt-out, opt-in, search page only, approval by community on a per-ad
basis only, etc.)
My own sense of things is that even after we look (together, as a
community) at all those options (calmly, rationally, and without people
going into hysterics that the discussion is even happening), we will
still turn down ads. But we will then be doing so in a responsible
adult manner, rather than a knee-jerk manner.
But, this is just the opinion of one community member / board member.
