The Yahoo page is genuine, but as you pass through http://66.40.16.232/hy/ that site displays some tiny little pop-ups and pop-unders, and tries to set a cookie, before doing a redirect to the real www.yahoo.com. That sort of stuff would probably get under Yahoo's skin, reflecting badly on them, and I'm sure they'd be happy to hear from you.

I have a little utility that lets me download pages via HTTP directly to text(*), so I was able to poke around safely and look directly at the HTML. I was hoping to learn some clever tricks (bastards that they are, ad-banner and porn site designers do come up with cool stuff), but this looks more like some newbie playing around with script lifted from somebody's ad--nothing clever or innovative.

Nuke 'em, Danno.

(*)Telnet to port 80 works too, you just have to type the basic HTTP "GET url" command.
