Apparently the best page is blank without JavaScript enabled, too.


This isn't too far from the truth! I make extensive use of dotjs[1] to inject my own CSS rules into web sites that I use frequently. ~65% of what I do is simply hiding useless divs/ads/flash and removing background colors, with the other 35% being mostly typographic tweaks (`line-height` and `font-size` being popular candidates here).

Interesting, it loaded just fine in the text-only "links" browser for me.


I found part of the problem:

#content { padding-top: 53px; z-index: 0; visibility: hidden; }

They're obviously flipping attributes around in scripting.

So, keeping with the theme of "no interface", disabling style sheets for this site will let the content display. Brilliant!


That's an overly-aggressive approach to avoiding FOUC (flash of unstyled content).


Was just going to say the same thing. Ironic irony is ironic.
