Please don't link to these BBC websites. They automatically resize the browser, and when you hit the back button, they don't resize the browser back. Yes, I'm using Firefox (latest version).
Websites that treat my browser and windows as their personal property, and as an opportunity to impose their preferences are fascist.
I use FireFox and I don't have a problem with the BBC website. Check your java script settings (tools/options/content -- Advanced, the one next to Java Script). I have all the boxes unchecked. I don't think this will prevent everything annoying that a boneheaded website can do, but it stops some of it. Also, check out the FlashBlock extension for FireFox. It's my friend, it may be yours if you're a Flash hater too.

If I ever had a surgeon who didn't cover their nostrils with their surgical mask, I'd think I was being punk'd.
I can totally understand those Iranians! May be, I should get one too - I have the same long nose!
Wait a minute - Was it Obama worried about his nose? Oops - it was not his nose, it was his BIG ears! ;)
Ruth Anne: I know!
Agree w/Paul re: BBC website.
What the guy in the video really needs, though, is an Elvis-wig-ectomy.
Couldn't they just throw on a hijab?
