There has been a LOT of talk around the issue of using Ad Blockers lately. The main thing that sparked the discussion was this post titled “Why Ad Blocking is devastating to the sites you love” by Arstechnica CEO Ken Fisher.

That post led to 1800+ comments and has been widely debated on blogs all over the world. So far we haven’t gotten involved in the discussion but I couldn’t ignore this cartoon.

Guilty as charged?
