    definitely publicity, type anything, and it'll give you the real links to the site.

    Looks fine on my end as well. Clear your cache and see if you still have issues.

    On a side note, that is a very resource-intensive website. Flash looks cool but 40% CPU usage (on a 3.6GHz OC'ed quad-core) is ridiculous.

    No point in clearing cache as it looks like that.

    That's not what a website looks like when it's hacked.

    I was expecting a 404 or something.
