I'm not seeing adverts even when I select the International option on the homepage. Maybe it knows that I'm lying.
Opera's got a nice filter in it: I right click on the page, select "block content", and then click on things. The URLs of the things are then generalised and added to a "don't load these items" list. It works great for LJ sponsored accounts: I see a white gap headed by the words "Advertisement" and "Customize", but no actual advert.
There are equivalents for Firefox. I believe the "normal" one is AdBlock Plus. It doesn't have Opera's point and click interface, but it's easy enough to use if you've got any idea of how to get an image's URL.

Dunno about IE, I'm afraid.
