I love David Simon's writing (and "The Wire" is the best thing ever to be on TV, in my opinion), but I was unable to read this article because the secondary navigation ("Popular on Facebook" ... "Q&A", etc) which kept swooping in every time I scrolled up drove me utterly insane. The fact that the actual text was overly large and offset strangely to the right also did not help.
Why do people have to ruin content in this way?!
