I understand showing advertisements is one of the most important business model in Internet, especially for service providers who serve users for free. I also understand it is difficult to established the effective way to monetize feeds and it looks easy step to mix ad entry into entries.
But those ad entries are annoying me, so I made my mind to deal with them using Greasemonkey userscript. You can install it from Google Reader Remove Ads for Greasemonkey. If you install it, you can make ad entries and ad images not to be shown. I will describe how to configure it.

1. Input "about:config" into the location bar of Firefox.
2. Filter by "greasemonkey.scriptvals.http://matatabi.homeip.net/Google Reader Remove Ads"
3. Change each value for your purpose.
   • "ad_title_prefixes" : You can set prefix strings for title of entries which you want to hide. Default values are "PR" and "AD".
   • "ad_href_prefixes" : You can set prefix strings for URL of entries which you want to hide. Default value is "http://match.seesaa.jp/".
   • "ad_img_prefixes" : You can set prefix strings for URL of images in entries which you want to hide. Default values are "http://rss.rssad.jp/" and "http://feedads.googleadservices.gom/".
     You can make images in specific domains not to be shown without this userscript. Firefox originally has such function with just right-clicking the image and choose the menu like "Not to load".

If you want to check which entries are hidden, you can do it in messages in error console window.
