I can't think of a better example of doing something really simple and 
straightforward completely wrong. 

Instead of a <a href=""></a> there loads of silly Javascript popus 
like those rather mad adverts you get on some sites. 

You wouldn't think there's been a standard way of doing this for 
almost 15 years...

I actually like the idea that they are using javascript to insert the 
links into the page, as it means with noscript it is possible to block 
apture.com and then all the links disappear.
