Usually, it's just some javascript drawing the overlay. Simply disable javascript and you'll never see it. In fact, browsing with javascript disabled by default is not only safer, but also removes a lot of annoying "features" from many websites.
You can also just hit the reload and then the stop loading (basically a slow double click on the reload page button), then read the article.
I understand that they think they are attracting advertisers by requiring users to have the ads loaded, but they are decreasing their overall traffic by doing this, thus making them a less desirable site to advertise on. The should just use the "drudge technique", reload the page every 10 seconds and claim a new hit each time....then they can falsely claim "2 billion clicks per year"
If you have chrome, you can use Personal Blacklist, which allows you to exclude domains from your search results. This used to be a feature of chrome itself, but was removed, google then made it into a plugin. You can then SEE excluded results if you scroll down to the very bottom of the search window and hit the "Show removed results" button.
In addition to blocking the overlay element (as mentioned below), most sites like this are run by greedy fucks who have a separate set of rules for Google, so that their content will still show up in search results (and then disappear when a real user clicks on them). Knowing this, you can use any user agent addon and set your user agent on that site to be the Google crawler bot.

Fun fact: on a lot of sites, that overlay is just another element you can select and block. It brings me great joy to block those crybaby windows.

Is there no app that will, for example put "-Forbes", in all your future searches?
