Can you attach a screenshot pointing out ads any of those sites other than the last?  I don't see anything that jumps out at me as an ad on the first three.

With a default profile, I still couldn't see the ads on any site except http://www.guenstiger.de/gt/main.asp?kat=35  All of the other sites' ads seem blocked already (I could see ones very similar to those in the screenshots when I disabled ad-blocking).

http://www.guenstiger.de/gt/main.asp?kat=35 is covered by the fixes in bug 346792.

I finally hit an ad on taz.com today; it's a doubleclick ad that is somehow evading our doubleclick-blocking rules :/

We're not going to be able to block all ads all the time, so replying to issues with certain sites with totally different sites isn't helpful.  The Yahoo ads are going to be very difficult to block; I have a hacky rule that does so, but it probably won't be accepted.
