Ha, funny little mystery to solve. It's added from http://www.nbcudigitaladops.com/hosted/js/eonline_com_header.js http://www.nbcudigitaladops.com/hosted/js/eonline_com_header...: //Site Pixel HEAD Script For:eonline.com //Krux Interchange - Krux KVs Written to AdTag UPDATED:2012-06-01 17:28:25 document.write(unescape('%3Cscript%3E%28function%28%29%7Bvar%20kvs%20%3D%20window.Krux%20%3F%20window.Krux.dartKeyValues%20%3A%20%27%27%3Bif%28top.__nbcudigitaladops_inject%20%26%26%20top.__nbcudigitaladops_inject.dtprm%29%7Btop.__nbcudigitaladops_inject.dtprm%28kvs%29%3B%7D%7D%29%28%29%3B%3C%2Fscript%3E')); //FOR COMCAST: Krux Interchange - Krux Writes to Cookie UPDATED:2012-12-14 15:58:46 document.write(unescape('https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2F9cf2d06784a93f1975cb')); //Default Pixel - Header (Do Not Delete) UPDATED:2012-02-28 16:35:47 document.write(unescape('%3Cscript%3E%3C%2Fscript%3E')); which is, in turn, inserted into the document by http://www.nbcudigitaladops.com/hosted/global_header.js http://www.nbcudigitaladops.com/hosted/global_header.js; excerpt: ... document.write('<scr'+'ipt src="//www.nbcudigitaladops.com/hosted/js/'+site+'_header.js"></scr'+'ipt>'); ... It looks like the idea here was to include the raw gist in a <script> tag, but that didn't quite happen. Both the gist and the JS file that inserts it include references to Krux, possibly http://www.krux.com/ http://www.krux.com/, a "cloud-based data management platform".

No possibly about it. The gist owner (https://github.com/dbrans https://github.com/dbrans) belongs to the krux organization (https://github.com/krux https://github.com/krux).

Maybe that's an example of bad email wording or something gone wrong? "Insert this into the header of your websites" and someone took it too literally?

That JavaScript looks related to serving or tracking ads. The code makes reference to DART (part of DoubleClick) and Ad Ops, and it's on the same part of the page as all of their other analytics tools (Google Analytics, SiteCatalyst, etc). Comcast is probably not in direct control of the code, and may be in the position that they can't get rid of it without adversely impacting their ad revenue stream.
