This article is a good example of just how bonkers the 'modern web' is. In a reasonable world my browser would instantaneously load the content (text fits in a couple of TCP packets) and I'd have an option to choose Shiny Mode (or a bar to toggle it on permanently with). Instead, half of the 'articles' I come across on the web don't work without animated full page transitions, pop-ups within the page, blah blah. I preferred the MARQUEE tag, quite frankly.
