I've imposed my own ban on TechCrunch, with the BlockSite extension for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145). I actually installed it specifically to prevent getting lured to TechCrunch articles from sites like HN where I'm just looking at headlines. It's the only site I have listed, and the links show up as visited and unclickable, saving me wasting precious minutes everyday.

I use LeechBlock for FF, It's more comprehensive than BlockSite.

I use LeechBlock too, but It doesn't work perfectly in firefox+ubuntu, if I close the browser it loose all the previous setting. I have to import it again.

kind bit pain, but it works for me
