Korean Job Discussion Forums

I'm a bit of a newspaper and informationaholic and I was puzzled today while trying to get a very sane and well argued article about English teaching in Sweden off of the Korea Herald site.

This below kept turning up. Is this usual for many Korean sites? Anyone from the Herald here who can explain? Seems a media organization should be concerned about this.

Firefox and/or Google have been blocking me from the Koreaherald site as well. I avoid it, unless I'm on a computer at work that I don't care about.
