Yes. There are patches for Squid (squid-cache.org), I believe. One
that looks promising, but which I have not used, is at
http://viralator.sourceforge.net/.

You may also be interested in Privoxy (http://www.privoxy.org/). It's
designed for removing advertising and other annoyances, but it's
highly configurable, so you may have some luck writing basic rules to
filter the obvious.

Amazing what a couple minutes on Google can do. ;)
