What the HECK is going on with that web page? The body of the story is 
heavily blurred with a transparentish overlay that makes it VERY hard to 
read, within that, there's a rectangle with the word "PANIC" and a red 
button. If you click on the red button, you go to an overview of ALL of 
the pilot news. If you click on the option to find out about the 
Equalizer spinoff, you get back to the same page with the body of the 
story badly blurred.

This is ridiculous! Do they want people to read these stories or not? If 
they DO want readers, it is incumbent upon them to remove overlays that 
make it very hard to read the story. They shouldn't need anyone to tell 
them that.

I get that the spinoff is not proceeding but the details may be relevant 
and interesting. But this idiocy means I'll never know.

This rant is NOT directed at Robin but at the people at Deadline who 
made this really foolish design decision.
