As a paid subscriber, I don't see the ads. Who are the advertisers on LJ? Is there a list being compiled somewhere? We could call the companies and ask them to pull their ads on Friday, but we'd have to know who they are first.
I'm a permanent and I have Ad block running, so I have no idea. I know Pepsi cancelled their ads last year during one of the debacles. I suggest looking at stewardess, who has chronicled a lot of this has good links.
