Sorry, you're not allowed to leave.

Earlier today I was trying to Google a website I found on my PC a while back. (Backing up its disk atm, and don't use Chrome sync.)

Clicked on an unrelated link, and was already in the process of reaching for the Back button when I realized I was looking at a cert failure (wrong domain in certificate). Heh. Idly curious I hit Continue... And was presented with my first

The initial one I was visiting purported to host various cartoons (and probably other TV shows).

I have no idea what the second site was.
