Default Why is SN Attempting to ClickJack it's Users?

The new icons at the bottom of the page, Redit, Stumbleupon etc

What is that all about?

I don't normally mind it, but there appears to be some embedded script that is trying to execute without permission.

Well the far left one, which at first appears to be Google, is a concealed link and takes me to a page that isn't google and is block by my browser due to web forgery.

They are used to recommend content to people, friends, contacts etc

The Redit icon at the bottom, for example. If they was a comedy gold thread in NSR and everyone clicked the link and subsequently got loads of upvotes, it would display on the front page here...

http://www.reddit.com/

So the whole world could see it.

It doesn't appear to have been done right, for what ever reason on SN and it trying to auto clickjack.

You plague every thread with a slight speeling or grammar mistake.

You have a serious problem - get help.
