Nope. It's a manual process--but there's hope:

Kill off the entire IP range that includes the offending IP address
(which will also get any dynamically-assigned dial-up IPs).
That will block the domains of ignorant/lazy/greedy/rogue providers
from China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Yugoslavia, Malaysia,
Mexico, Cuba, Israel...

That's the easiest part (and the bulk of the for-profit junk)
--and you might spite your face in the process.

....then you have to filter out the specific IPs of those assholes
using ignorant/lazy/greedy/rogue First-World providers
(Verizon, Comcast, RoadRunner, etc.)
--without nuking the guys you still want to read.
