Don't blame the tech guy - I'm a writer and I set that up suddenly when I saw we were getting traffic from HN. Our coder would have done a vastly better job but it's 3am where he is! :)
OK I think I've fixed this now!
Great. Now that I see the full thing, I am using an ad-blocker as you can see in the screenshot (fully loaded and "max security"). However it doesn't hide the pop-up by default. If you actually want to allow for that, maybe you should add the class advertising, ads or similar (:
