Hmm, I'm just as strict as you about ads - if real content doesn't show up in 2 seconds or less I close the window. The first time I viewed it, no ad. I tried it again from a new browser instance after I posted the link here (to test it), still no ad.

I do browse from FireFox - don't know if that makes a difference. Otherwise I can't explain why you would get ads and I didn't.
