Howto: Disable Annoying Intellitxt Links

I sincerely despise Intellitxt stuffed blogs. The technology is annoying, disruptive, and unattractive – time to disable it. There are a few ways that I know of to accomplish this. If you are using Firefox you can simply download an extension that will disable those popups. But for IE users you can take it a step further and disable Intellitxt on your systems HOSTS level, but since Intellitxt is using custom domain names for all their advertisers this can be quite a chore since the HOSTS file does not accept wildcard characters. Other users have suggested that you just disable scripting in IE, but I can imagine that would make a less then pleasurable browsing experience.
Anybody else have any tips that they would care to share?
