The Video, Politics, Sports, Business and Entertainment links point to theonion.com. I suggest that you change this. An Onion dev already posted that he had considered screwing with your site when it was using the Onion's CSS. If they did want to screw with your site (or its visitors) it would be easy for them to redirect anyone that clicked one of those links (giving them a referer from your site) to someplace unexpected.

- a_p 14y agoThe threat of changing their CSS to mess with your site reminded me of something a Web 1.0 trolling site did to people who linked to images on their site, causing an unnecessary load on their server. The images that were linked to were usually put in (a third party's) forum signatures. So the site owners would replace the original image with a copy that had a different file name, and change the image at the original uri to something obscene. This would usually lead to the bandwidth leech being banned from his forum for linking to obscene images.
