Use Little Snitch to block AOL AIM client ads
Authored by: frickster on Sep 07, '05 10:19:36AM

You could also edit your /etc/hosts file to point AOL's ad servers to something local; for example, I point them to localhost. That way when AIM launches, it can't find the ad servers and you don't get seizures from their moving ads.

add that line to /etc/hosts and it appears to block the ads.
