Honestly, I hope this sort of subversive advertising never takes hold.
No need to be worried, adblock seems to catch those just fine. I certainly have never seen one of those. In fact, I can't quite remember when I have last seen any kind of ad.
The only ad-related memory I have would be that I (very rarely) run into a scammy site that tries to launch some sort of pop-over <div>. Adblock doesn't seem to block that javascript but it blocks the content. The result is usually a blank overlay; a very nice (and often red!) indicator that the content wasn't worth my time anyways - that's what I call good customer service.

Adblock - highly recommended.
