Did you get this to work? Your syntax caused me an error, so I changed it to...
sudo ipfw add 100 deny all from any to ads.web.aol.com
...which worked in terminal, but doesn't seem to block the aim ads. Hmm.

you need to enter IP address (numbers) not domain names.
there are several IPs associated with aol ad servers named ads.web.aol.com:
64.12.174.*
152.163.208.*
205.188.165.*

Just wanted to add: I use Netbarrier's Stop List to block out annoying IPs - works very well.
