I have no problem viewing the page without any spoofing.

The page validates with 156 errors if I force the W3C validator to use
iso-8859-1 character encoding.  However, the <head> section explicitly
states UTF-8 encoding.  There are also 78 CSS errors.

The problem is that, at line 223, the bytes x(c8) appear.  This is an
upper-case E with a grave accent and is not allowed as such in XHTML
with UTF-8 encoding.

Overall, this page is garbage.  I'm surprised that I was able to view it.
