The animal quote of the day module violates the TOS. When the code is
embedded on a web page, that web page will not load completely, but
will redirect to thepetlist.com, a site from which it is difficult to
escape, no matter which browser you use. Embedding the gadget on a web
page interferes with the functioning of that web page, which is a
violation of Google's TOS. If you are very, very quick with the mouse,
and you click the stop button within microseconds of trying to access
your "real" page, it will not load the redirector. You may have to
play with it for a long time to get the entire "real" page loaded so
you can view the source code, which is how I found out where the
redirect had been coming from. I thought my web site had been
hijacked. I did send a complaint to the page's developer, but I doubt
that will have any effect, since I would assume that thepetlist.com
has paid her to make sure that people go to their site without being
able to escape.
