Anyone else getting redirected to some Walmart poll site at random times from THR...?

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Sounds like you've got spy/adware on your computer. I'd download and run Spybot and Ad-Aware to do a check of your computer.

Nothing like that is happening for me. It's gotta be on your end.

I've never seen a pop up at THR. Someone has hacked into your browser.
