Flash ad on imdb (where they intermingle ads and their content flash in the same paths):

# div id="swf_300x250_2"
# object id="300x250_2"

Flash ads on neatorama.com are coming from *.cachefly.net --for example, the following link

  http://www.neatorama.com/2007/02/08/cheddarvision/

has these ad URLs:

Lots of BlogAds still (Flash ones)
Sample site: http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/ but it is not the only one

I use div[class*="adspot"] 

http://english.aljazeera.net/News
all ads coming through:
iframe[src*="jazad.aljazeera.net"] {display:none;}

(Via the forums)

Legit content blocked by div[class*="adPanel"],
@ http://www.uzo.pt/, left hand side bar/navigation, contained in a div class="RadPanelbar_Uzo7".

Attachment: Feb omnibus ads

Pretty self-explanatory this month, I think.  Instead of removing the problematic div[class*="adPanel"] rule entirely, I simply wacked the *; it still blocks ads on thelocal.se but shouldn't catch things like <div class="RadPanel"> any more ;)
