Very amazing creature.
I strongly suggest people find sources other than theBlaze.com website because of the hyper intensive tracking bugs and cookies that website employs:
Audience Science
Facebook Connect
Google +1
Google AdWords Conversion
Google Analytics
Legolas Media
Media6Degrees
NDN Analytics
Quantcast
RadiumOne
Taboola
Twitter Button
Visual Revenue

FReepers humblegunner, Larry Lucido, myself and quite a few others have consistently argued against blogs being pimped on FR.
While some blogs (as the exception that proves the rule) do provide some quality commentary and report on “under reported” stories purposefully omitted by the MSM the majority are merely click for cash schemes that get financial rewards for invading the privacy of those who visit their sites.
Your analysis of the tracking software on the Blaze is a perfect example. I clicked on that site and every alarm on my system went off.
You can find the same video on YouTube.com -

Just for clarity, I am ~not~ suggesting that FReeper Twotone is “pimping.” I’m sure he just found an interesting story and posted it.
Just for future reference, “The Blaze” is not (to the best of my knowledge) on the “excerpt only” list.
