If I set up the browser to "lie" (user-agent) and claim that it's Mozilla then I can browse the site. 2) Even with the fake Mozilla setting I can no longer browse the comments, nor can I post a comment. I must use (for example) Firefox in order to do so. So, some time ago, the site was "upgraded" to allow for more fancy stuff, though I'm not sure what, since I was able to use the site perfectly well beforehand. I suppose this is some kind of discrimination since the Links browser will no do a lot of the sophisticated Javascript stuff which not only provides the fancy new "features" (of dubious usefulness) but also allows sites such as facebook et al. to possibly gather information, though I'm less concerned about my privacy here than just being able to use the site. Such is "progress". I used to be able to visit your site with the “Links” browser: http://links.twibright.com/

No offense meant to Lisa - her articles are good, but a bit too frequent and the message is repetitive.

I am doing a class on stereotypes as part of the Intercultural Communication class I teach at the National University of Ireland, Galway. This year I thought it would be interesting to approach the subject by looking at cartoons or images of stereotypes of the Irish themselves. So, I hope you don't mind me using your site (fully referenced, of course). I can imagine that my students will be somewhat taken a back by these images; they are young confident people who have a very positve self-image. But at a time when Ireland, in an economic recession, is dealing with issues of imigration and indeed sometimes racism these images are pertinent because they inform us about what our ancestors faced in previous times and maybe help us have an understanding of the commonality which often underlies the immigrant experience. As you say, pictures can be a very powerful medium to get a message accross. Hi there,
