Firefox 2 I believe. I got sent to some las vegas thing after about 15 seconds of the video.
Tell it brother....
I have had it happen twice today and each time to a site that I would not have ever been interested in going.
Both times I was logged in here. Think someone is playing with the data stream.
I do not think it is a browser problem, have never had it happen before today.

Easily solved—all he has to do is refuse to let anyone see his birth certificate.
Only one difference - beer is legal.
Jonathan Krohn is a 13 year-old home schooled young man who has been performing on stage since he was eight. Inside Edition’s Debora Norville named him “Atlanta’s Most Talented Child” in 2006. Jonathan has had 3 call-backs for the Broadway part of Michael Banks in Mary Poppins.
Jonathan has recently been seen as John Darling in Peter Pan, and Scott in Dear Edwina, Young Cain in Children of Eden, Colin Cravin in the Secret Garden, as well as parts in The Wizard of Oz, Tom Sawyer, The Jungle Book, and Alice in Wonderland.
In 2007, Jonathan was Guest Narrator for the Gwinnett Philharmonic’s rendition of Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra. For the last 3 years Jonathan has performed on the Internet radio show “The Life Connection Show”, with the last year taking over as the principal writer for the show.
He has played the cello since he was 4 and has recently taken up the Banjo. He is active at his church, Peachtree Corners Baptist, and in his spare time he is playing with his dog Spot, and listening to anything political. He loves talk radio. He has also taken up golf in hopes to play with his favorite politicians.

SITTING in the back seat of his mother’s van as she drives through Atlanta suburbs, Jonathan Krohn is about to sign off with a conservative radio talk show host in Florida. In the 40 minutes he’s been on the air, with the help of his mother’s cellphone, this hyper-articulate Georgia eighth grader has attacked the stimulus bill, identified leaders he thinks will salvage the Republican Party’s image, and assessed the legitimacy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate.
The show’s host chuckles and asks whether President Obama has called Jonathan “a little fascist.”
“The president hasn’t come after me yet,” Jonathan says chummily, “but we’ve had other people come after me!”
“Jonathan!” his mother hisses from the driver’s seat.
The interview concluded, Jonathan wistfully handed his mother her cellphone. His parents still won’t let him have one, even though he turned 14 last Sunday, right after he became an instant news media darling and the conservative movement’s underage graybeard at last weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.

In the days following the conference, Krohn’s parents received hate mail accusing them of brainwashing their son; both insist their interest in politics is small and Krohn developed his own political thinking
The speech by Krohn was also mentioned in the March 2, 2009, episode of The Daily Show when host Jon Stewart referred to Krohn as a “precocious, teenage, Conservative firebrand” saying, “I’m not sure there’s a nurple purple enough (for him)”, before consulting a fictitious “comedy ethics bible” and determining he could not make fun of a 13-year-old boy, only classmates and siblings had that right, though he later referred to Krohn as “Doogie Howser GOP”.
Yea,this kid is scary he so composed on the big stage.He’s even got the Kennedy at Choat look about him.God knows looks are a big part of the female vote.Sad statement of fact.Just ask Dole and McCain.
This kid has his head screwed on right. I thought he was home schooled and he is. This deserves a good home school ping.
I am really impressed .
Kiran Chetry left Fox and went to CNN?!?
I was wondering the same thing. At least she treated the young man with respect.
Ping for later. ...must go on an early errand! BRB... :-)

Ms Lisa De Pasquale’s comments in that article gall me.
