Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn't been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that's really worthwhile.

Does anyone else have Onion videos crash their browser a lot? I think it's linked to the ad they use, since when they switch ads I can be fine. I remember the 7/11 one around the 2012 election used to do it to me every time.

Onion video links I open from the Awful app on my iPhone immediately switch over to the App Store and try and get me to download Candy Crush.

E: on second read not what you were asking at all but more complaining about their ad service I guess.
