Because jwz appears to have a very short fuse and at one point in time one or a group of users on HN didn't agree with him (as best as I can remember), referrals from HN are redirected to an image of a testicle.
Here is a wayback machine link to avoid the image:

- jandrese 7y agoJWZ has always been opinionated. I remember his epic rants on email client backends and other technical details.
- Chlorus 7y agolol he's escalated; before he just had text complaining about brogrammers at HN. I've wondered for years what the original beef was.
- NikkiA 7y ago> an image of a testical. It's a 'hairy egg', if you see a testicle that's on you.
- Dylan16807 7y agoWhat compels you to blatantly lie here?
- IntelMiner 7y agoThe intent is pretty blatant
- dtech 7y agoWow, if you pull shit like that that immediately is 1 point for the other team in whatever beef he had
- DanBC 7y agoLinks on HN were generating huge amounts of negative traffic. I don't blame him for having a redirect.

- jnbiche 7y agoOK, a redirect, but to a pornographic image?
- lallysingh 7y agoIt's a testicle. Not people having graphic sex.
- gsich 7y agoThis is great.
