Besides the fact that the Supreme Court just ruled that IPs deserves privacy protection, ads present an extremely prevalent attack vector for malicious code and industrial level surveillance, data harvesting and nearly internet wide tracking.

Short, funny then sweet: Give them a chuckle, then bring a tear to their eye all under three minutes.
