Evil
So, having seen Thunderbirds (Capsule review: The fact that the plot is microns thick, the acting questionable and the directing iffy is rendered completely and totally moot by the sheer “Oooh, Shiny!” factor of seeing the swimming pool slide back so Thunderbird One can launch. Also: The intro sequence is the best thing ever), I decided to check out the Ben Kingsley (who plays The Hood) Official Site.
DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK IN ANYTHING BUT IE UNTIL YOU HAVE TURNED OFF JAVASCRIPT
Turn off Javascript (If you’re not using IE4+) and go there, then view the source. If you go there with JS enabled, you get thrown into an infinate loop of “You need a version 4 browser” alert boxes until you either close the tab or the browser. This is horrible. And god forbid you try to enter with a site reader, or any kind of spider.
Ick.

Sarabian:
So of course I had to click on the link thinking that I could just close the browser when it goes into the loop.
What I forgot was that I’d created a new profile and in this profile, the tabbrowser extension was set to reopen any tabs upon restart.
After the forth kill, I got a bit worried.
After the 7th go, I won the game of clicking the close icon before the page loaded and I was out of the loop.
/me will listen to Aquarion next time.
Peter:
Works fine in Opera (no popup), whether I set it to identify as IE6, Mozilla 3 or Opera.
Rory Parle:
So you sent them an angry email right? It’s the only decent thing to do. The address is mraproductions@benkingsley.com.

OK… So you are complaining about the website of the evil Hood being evil… Maybe that’s the idea… :-)
