IE7 hates adultswim.com

I just got home from a night of drinking and I have an email from a co-worker saying adultswim.com is down.
The problem is that every time my co-worker clicks on the watch now link on the “fix” page all it does is open a new browser and loops the commercial over and over and over again..

I in disbelief pull it up in Firefox 2.0 and see from the glorious background of Oglethorpe (ATHF character) that there is a new episode available of ATHF!!!!
I go into the site and after watching a silly commercial of Space Ghost playing some sort of Tony Hawk game the new episode of ATHF plays.
So it works for me…
I call my co-worker and do the exact same thing  and it keeps looping the commercial for him and not starting the show.
I decide to try in IE to see if it works..
yep it works…
THEN THEN i get the genius idea of asking him if he’s using IE7 or IE6.
He says “yep using IE7. It was an update and I want my computer secure” (his words i swear!).
So I having the old outdated IE6 on my windows box go to windows update and see that it’s saying HEY GET IE7 NOW!
I wait the ten mins it takes to do the update of IE7 and restart my computer (IE7 demands that for the installation to complete).
So… I open adultswim.com in IE7 go to the “fix” section and click watch now under ATHF (aqua teen hunger force) and ….. and….
it doesn’t load the episode!!!
All it does when i click on watch the episode is open a new identical page with that damn commercial looping…
Even by clicking in the new windows under watch now it still doesn’t work…..

Those bastards at M$ ruined everyone of the joy of a new ATHF episode!!! Not to mention a new Frisky Dingo episode!!!
