Sorry @JustSam that doesn’t fly. I’m not sure you get the problem.
So, please, don’t blame Xeni for a known glitch (see meta: several problems have been noted relating to embedded video).
The link as viewed from the bbs:
Seems to take you to the “wrong” link because the inserted video is simply missing at this page. That link is an ad for Ustream (who supplies live footage of the otters) which is meant to be seen below the streaming video.
If you go here instead, you’ll be at the main BoingBoing site (not the BBS) and you’ll see the inserted video. Then the link which you misinterpreted as being a “bad link” will make sense. That ad is still there, right below the live footage of the otters - which is on 24-7, but they can only be viewed during “lights on” hours at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I just checked and at 6:56pm Pacific, they’re out playing.
P.S. The “ice bath” is a static image.
