Have you folks tried to change countries on your profile?
I am from Brazil and such info is on my account. I never saw the Circuit City ad. I got lots of "work on USofA", "green card for free", "improve your online security" and, oddly enough, "visit such-such-site and win a free handbag".But no popup at all.
The downside is, some sponsor games are not so easily reach-able, as they don't appear in the games list. You got to search the news untill you find'em. And no theatre, too.
My profile used to say Japan, and I still got the Circuit City ad. So that won't work for Japan, at least! I changed it to say US just so I could get to those sponser games. ^^

screenshot it, and then click the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page to report the ad.
I only say to screen capture it because once I wrote in complaining about an ad that featured a naked, or almost naked, woman (this was many moons ago) and described it in detail, and an actual rep wrote me back asking for a screen cap. of course, then i reloaded the pages 100 times and couldn't get it again.

That might work. I claim to live in Antarctica (maybe I farm penguins?), and I have not gotten this ad, although I do get japanese ads for some reason. And it doesn't interfere with sponsor games; neo__bori's petpage lists sponsor games from both the US and internationally, so it's not a problem to find them.
