The Monty Python circus keeps rolling on after 40 years

By Bill Keveney, USA TODAY

A 40th anniversary celebration is a bit conventional for Monty Python.
"We should have had the 37⅓ anniversary or the 41½ anniversary; 40 seems too predictable for Python," says Michael Palin, one of six members of the comedy troupe that launched Monty Python's Flying Circus in 1969. "On the other hand, we're grateful for people who love the show still and get very excited.

Hi YoKenny,

Nice link, but that one at popwatch gives me a ghostery alert for 6 trackers, yes 6...

RequestPolicy report a secret link from Wordpress.com to TimeInc.net

Just was curious enough to look under the hood of this site, and there also was this issue:
I saw this in the error console:
Error: [Exception... "'NoScript aborted redirection to http://img2-short.timeinc.net/ew/static ... js?ver=MU' when calling method: [nsIChannelEventSink::onChannelRedirect]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "<unknown>" data: no]
====================
[NoScript] Potential cross-site E4X hijacking detected and blocked (http://www.ew.com/ew/js/main/0,,,00.js?ver=MU)

E4X currently is only fully supported by Firefox and maybe Google Chrome I assume. It enables you to use XML data within Javascript and has plenty of little quirks, google around for the details

So you can use XML data within javascript that means we can access that data cross domain but only if it’s been assigned to a variable right? Well not exactly. You see if we can control any aspect of the XML data we can then poison it with UTF-7 encoded data, this means we can access inline XML without any variable assignment, full malcode potentional lies in the foreseeable future,

Thankfully my HOSTS file blocked all of those entries so one does not need to be goaded into installing Firefox just to see a picture of John Cleese.
