Is there any way to disable the display of Intellitext ads in

Just blocking "intellitxt.com" with adblock seems to work for
me.

I have installed adblock 0.5.3.043 from addons.mozilla.org. I
restarted Firefox and then went to Tools/Adblock/Preferences and
added intellitxt.com to the list. The ads still pop up. I
restarted Firefox again, but still no luck. What am I doing
wrong?

This might help:
# echo "127.0.0.1 ads.intellicast.com" >> /etc/hosts
# echo "127.0.0.1 ads1.intelliads.com" >> /etc/hosts
# echo "127.0.0.1 intellectualcapital.com" >> /etc/hosts
# echo "127.0.0.1 intelliads.com" >> /etc/hosts
# echo "127.0.0.1 track.intelliseek.com" >> /etc/hosts

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
