While the idea of a custom style sheet that hides all blocks that point
to market:// URLs sounds good, unfortunately in this specific instance
it wouldn’t work as the banner is dynamically generated, and the link
doesn’t have a href attribute, instead a very obfuscated onclick handler
is installed on the link, meaning it would be very complex to detect the
final target of the link.
There are two options here:
1) Evangelize CNN to teach them to recognize our default UA
2) Devise a custom UA override for cnn.com that won’t get us the banner
