There's a workaround: submit the article to archive.is.

http://archive.is/d8LTZ

I didn't come up with this trick, but unfortunately I forgot who donated it.

Maybe me. ;-) I've been suggesting it for a while. It works wonders and has worked every time I've tried it.

It seems likely that they know about this backdoor and have opted to allow it. They must surely know the IO addresses associated with archive.is and have yet to make any effort to block then.
