The ads are why the site is free. Get yourself a good adblock. You can also opt out of seeing ads, through your Site Preferences, accessed through your profile page. For that, you have to join the site. Consider this a welcome in advance.
With AdSense you don't choose what specific genre of ads you would like to see on your site (though you can filter out certain categories), you simply place a code on your site which "reads" the page is it placed on and displays relevant ads. So if your website is about soccer, AdSense should display soccer-related ads automatically. You can change your settings to manually approve ads, but you will still only get to choose from the ads which Google selects for you.

Wikipedia has a good page on the history of advertisments but if you don't want to go to that site, you can also go to google images and type in 1732 ads and it will show you lots of pictures of ads from that year. hope this helps.
If you are talking about this site, there are several things that you can do, but the best option is probably registering for an account. If you are logged in, you will get fewer ads automatically, and then under "Quick Links" on the left rail, you can turn off even more ads on the "My Settings" page. Boom. Enjoyment returns. :)

Revenue, this site is expensive to operate. And there is no fee for answering questions and those of us that answer what we know about don't get paid. And if the site is difficult to load, it's not because of the ads. And NO, I am not affiliated in any way shape or form with the Administrators of Answers.com.
