from what i can tell, it *is encoded into the webpage's html code! can
someone else try viewing the code of this page and let me know if they
see the code too? please go to:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?K4B023806

view the source, then do a search for "Vibrant Media". its at the
bottom of neowin's article pages. (oddly enough, right below the link
to their privacy policy, which doesn't mention this crap at all...)

if neowin has decided to subject their visitors to this kind of crap,
i feel the visitor should at least know about it...
