Gnostic Marketing
I know reading Gnostic texts with all the lacunae and somewhat anachronistic language can be difficult at times, but I think this advertisement for a book on "The Mystic Christ" really takes the cake.

I had a lot of trouble with these ads as well. What struck me as suspect was how the ads popped up when I tried to access other things relating to Gnosticism. Multiple sources all dumped me back there. Aggressive advertising? I think so. Suspect? 100%.
IMO, most of the Gnostic material one needs is free on the internet. I swear, this giant net of ours is fulfilling some sort of ancient prophecy or another! Scams like this one, and the Kabbalah institute sham (Madonna! Madonna!) ought to be ashamed.
PAX!
First time I saw that, I was seriously annoyed...but it reminds me a bit of those "cut and paste" bits that William Burroughs does.
