Appraisal of the quality of Zuckerberg's Mandarin: http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2014/10/22/mark_zuckerbe...

Wow, well that site was designed by a bunch of dicks. If you scroll down too much to read the article it throws a whopping great big nag screen at you insisting that you register (for free) to continue reading. Then, when you close the wretched thing, using the provided X, it just dumps you on to their home page.

It's like they thought to themselves 'How can we do a paywall but replace all of the users usual disappointment with utter irritation?'

Blocking "foreignpolicy.com###TB_iframeContent" in ABP seems to take care of it.
NoScript is your friend, I saw no such nag screen.
