It says at the top that you need to allow VLC play to play the video...

I actually have it installed. But it couldn't load the video anyway.

More critically, there was no gracious fallback. All I get is a completely broken page with absolutely no outgoing links or any textual content!

The video is the only content on the page. If you don't have your system configured to play video (user error), why would you expect a fallback?

There is, in fact, a little "X" that loads in the top left. http://elsewhe.re/Jwtz
