1 . A method for providing user-specification of advertising content, the method comprising:
providing a user interface by which a user may input characteristics of advertising content;
selecting advertising based, at least in part, on the input characteristics; and
presenting the selected advertising.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said providing, said selecting, and said presenting are performed by user equipment.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said providing a user interface comprises providing a user interface by which a user may input characteristics of advertising content desired by the user.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said providing a user interface comprises providing a user interface by which a user may input characteristics of advertising content that is not desired by the user.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said input characteristics of advertising content comprise information identifying a specific product.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said input characteristics of advertising content comprise information identifying a type of product.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said input characteristics of advertising content comprise information identifying a particular product source.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said input characteristics of advertising content comprise information identifying a style of advertising content.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said input characteristics of advertising content comprise information identifying a particular advertisement.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein said providing a user interface comprises providing a user interface by which a user may flag advertising content that is presently being presented.
11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said providing a user interface comprises providing a user interface by which a user may specify a time window associated with advertising content.
12 . The method of claim 11 , comprising time-shifting advertising content based, at least in part, on the user-specified time window.
13 . The method of claim 1 , comprising prioritizing advertising content based, at least in part, on the input characteristics.
14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said selecting advertising comprises replacing received advertising content that does not conform to user-specified characteristics with advertising that conforms to user-specified characteristics.
15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said selecting comprises overriding user-defined advertising content restrictions.
16 . A system for providing user-specification of advertising content, the system comprising:
at least one module operable to, at least:

present the selected advertising.
17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said system is user equipment.
18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said at least one module is operable to provide a user interface by, at least in part, operating to provide a user interface by which a user may input characteristics of advertising content desired by the user.
19 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said at least one module is operable to provide a user interface by, at least in part, operating to provide a user interface by which a user may input characteristics of advertising content that is not desired by the user.
20 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said input characteristics of advertising content comprise information identifying a specific product.
21 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said input characteristics of advertising content comprise information identifying a type of product.
22 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said input characteristics of advertising content comprise information identifying a particular product source.

24 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said input characteristics of advertising content comprise information identifying a particular advertisement.
25 . The system of claim 24 , wherein said at least one module is operable to provide a user interface by which a user may input characteristics of advertising content by, at least in part, operating to provide a user interface by which a user may flag advertising content that is presently being presented.
26 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said at least one module is operable to provide a user interface by which a user may input characteristics of advertising content by, at least in part, operating to provide a user interface by which a user may specify a time window associated with advertising content.
27 . The system of claim 26 , wherein said at least one module is operable to time-shift advertising content based, at least in part, on the user-specified time window.
28 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said at least one module is operable to prioritize advertising content based, at least in part, on the input characteristics.
29 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said at least one module is operable to select advertising by, at least in part, operating to replace received advertising content that does not conform to user-specified characteristics with advertising that conforms to user-specified characteristics.
30 . The system of claim 16 , wherein said at least one module is operable to select advertising by, at least in part, operating to override user-defined advertising content restrictions.
