Aren't all of Insane Beard's videos on YouTube anyway? He surely isn't seriously expecting everybody to go to MurdochSpace for them?

I've found some of the additions to Firefox very useful for this sort of stuff - they block all scripting by default, and block autoload of Flash content. Instead, I get a control that I can click on to start each Flash element on the page if and when I want to. So I never see auto-loaded Flash adverts. The content that I really want to see and hear loads a lot quicker as a result. I haven't been hit by automatic music for months.
