I agree, but it's Perl related.

I don't have any interest seeing such ads on perlmonks.

Sometimes I don't, sometimes I do have an interest in seeing such ads.

Maybe they would be more acceptable if they were clearly marked as such. Or part of a new section in which references to commercial products and services are allowed. If such a section would come to be, I would like to see such a section called "Brewery" because of a lot of connotations. But mostly because the breweries associated with monasteries, were a link to the "real" world and as such a place where non-monastarians were able to buy the products and services from monks.
