Default Annoying Ford ads at top of threads

I realize this website is funded by advertisers, and I appreciate them doing that. But this website is probably 90% GM vehicle based, yet almost every time I log in, the first thread in every section I see is something sponsored by Ford that essentially says, "GMC and Chevrolet suck. Here is why!"

Can you ask them to tame those things down? I mean, c'mon. It usually has the opposite effect intended. Usually it just makes me want to NEVER look at another Ford, ever. Perhaps I'm being dramatic, but it really makes about as much sense as Burger King putting posters on McDonald's entry doors.

Just do what everyone else does and don't click on them. See the number of views?
