Stack overflow attack on that site. Possibly an advertisement running on the page.

Yes, something is wrong with that page. I had to restart to get it to close. I think I've had an issue before with that particular website.

Huh. Works for me. There's a cool info-graphic with kind of pop up stats on it.

Obviously I don't know much about how this internet thing works, I just use it.

From that article:

$1:

The incarceration rate of the United States of America is the highest in the world, at 716 per 100,000 of the national population.

The country represents about 4.4 per cent of the world’s population, but houses around 22 per cent of the world’s prisoners.

Republican prosecutor, big shocker. How many tax dollars were spent on DNA tests and 22 years imprisonment for these kinds of petty crimes? Small government my ass.
