Peel ads suck!
At first I was curious. A new form of internet advertisement that isn't a popup? Sweet! It was unique in that when you scroll your mouse to the top right of the page, where the page seems to be falling off, the web page flips halfway revealing the advertisement.

But this form advertisement's positive points stop there. From here on, it's a problem. It's a problem because is that if people just tack the ad on their site without proper planning, they could end up making some links unusable.

Take a look at http://www.sys-con.com/ (which has ALOT of advertisements by the way, even with duplicate google adsense boxes. But that's for another time)

As you can see, there are two links to the top right: Education and Books. However, if the page finishes loading the script/flash of the peel ad stops you from clicking those links. I find it ironic that in order to use the advertisement, you end up making the site less accessible, and more annoying. Please, think of the viewers!
