Because jwz appears to have a very short fuse and at one point in time one or a group of users on HN didn't agree with him (as best as I can remember), referrals from HN are redirected to an image of a testicle.

Here is a wayback machine link to avoid the image:

JWZ has always been opinionated. I remember his epic rants on email client backends and other technical details.

lol he's escalated; before he just had text complaining about brogrammers at HN. I've wondered for years what the original beef was.

Links on HN were generating huge amounts of negative traffic.

I don't blame him for having a redirect.

OK, a redirect, but to a pornographic image?

It's a testicle. Not people having graphic sex.
