    WTF is up with these sites? Hovering the mouse over the first instance of the word 'architecture' brings up a helpful popup:

    Yankee Barn Homes - Architecture Experience the look and feel of barn architecture, the warmth of antique wood and the strength of timber frame. Authentic post and beam, soaring windows, great floor plans. Built nationwide.

    Yes, that's what I call fucking targeted marketing. Way to go Eugenia. Always outdoing yourself.

    I remember a program that did something similar to that back in my windows days............... anyway, that architecture business doesn't happen on my box, and given that it is completely unrelated to any content on that site, I doubt it is even a part of the site.

    You've probably been spyware'd.

      It's possible, but I doubt it. A dump of the working set mapped libs for IE shows nothing more exciting than Flash and the Google toolbar.

      Haha. Just load into the debugger, and voila. http://itxt.vibrantmedia.com/system/liveintellitxt .asp is serving that crap up to IE5.5 or greater.

      Wasn't in my hosts file.
