Certainly does seem to explain exactly what's happening.  The truly  
troubling thing is, if they can get away with this sort of hijacking  
and call it a feature, who knows what enterprising ISPs will come up

Maybe someday soon, we'll type in the address of our favorite news  
source and the page that comes up will say,


"Wouldn't you really rather go to the wonderful XYZ news?  If so just  
click here.  Or if you still want to go to your previous choice,  
please wait 60 seconds while we prepare to redirect you..."
