I find the inline ads annoying, but the little inset ones that text wraps around aren't too bad (relatively speaking). The ones that torque me off are the kind that completely interrupt the text, and you need to scroll down for 1/3-1/2 page to see the article again... (ala MSN and others...)
The idiotic flashing banners irritate me as well, but I usually just scroll so they're off the page (if possible).
Like others have said, the absolute worst are the ones where a word is an ad link. On some sites, it links to something useful, like a previous related article for more details...
I simply refuse to go to sites like those anymore, unless I can't get info on something anywhere else.
