Techcrunch Blocks the Back Button

Open any techcrunch article and wait it to load completely. Now try hitting the back button. It would just reload the same page from histroy

Looks like a bug since clicking the X button on the page does what the back button should do.

Oh yeah. That's cheap. Looks to me like a feature than a bug.
