     Not to mention this abomination:

            We think your pop-up blocker is keeping us from opening a
            window to show you more of the Pandora website. (it's not
            an ad, promise!)

     I don't care whether it is an ad or not; a website has no business
     opening windows on my computer. Period. Full stop.
