    I guess so. I don't see any banner that you mentioned.

    I don't see any banner. Maybe is a virus from your computer.

    The screenshot I took is from a Mac browser emulator hosted in Italy, so it definitely isn't just my machine.

    I guess you haven't read the thread then.

    ---
    It was obviously fixed very quickly, those who missed it missed it.

    Google picked it up though:

    That was cool. I'm just wondering what were you researching - cat or the hat?

    /\ I was going to post the wiki link for Dr. Seuss over here. But I got sidetracked.

    Looks like I hit Wikipedia at the right time (or wrong time). It's all fixed now.

    Simon Cowell's wiki page was done in a few years ago as well. It's obviously not the most secure site, but it is still a damn good one.

    I am seeing no banner. I think the site was hacked in your area only...:)
