Clicking the Lounge link on the home page (or any shortcut to a Lounge post) reveals this[^].

Refreshing, isn't it ?

Look on the bright side - the Lounge is devoid of my terrible puns.

You're right. But when I said "...the Lounge is devoid of my terrible.", people just looked at me blankly.

How about that - corruption in our Redis cache. And of course it waited until we were all in a chocolate coma and hence unable to do anything except whimper slightly.

I see the article's forum. I still don't see the TODO list with IE8. I see an occasional "error on page" on the article in IE8.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

IIRC a few years ago CP started buying backfill ads from double-click when they had a shortage of programming related banners to show.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This particular ad is that for a rather controversial Indian politician who is a potential Prime Minister candidate. Showing the ad to Indian members is akin to showing a pro-Obama or pro-Romney banner ad to Americans (back in 2012). I am fairly sure it's a 3rd party service pushing that ad and not CP directly. So I was the one who asked OP to report it here.

yeah, I know who he is and why so many people have a big problem with him. I was just commenting on where/how I thought it showed up.

Interesting. I would never have thought anyone who did not live in India or at least had an Indian background would know who he is

I have a subscription to The Economist, mostly for the quality of it's international news (vs all the MBA/Wall Street content it's best known for). I haven't counted, but I'd guesstimate that at least one article about something from India is generally in at at least every other issue; and "Can anyone stop Narendra Modi?[^]" was last week's cover story.
Outside of that, I saw mention of him recently on another board I frequent where someone else saw an attack article and was asking if he really was that bad, and I think I've seen at least one mention about the upcoming election *somewhere* in the US press in the last few months.
