WTF - CNN Flash Script

Trying to view a video on CNN web site was impossible. Using Ubuntu and Firefox with Flash installed I got a message from the web server telling me that I need Flash player version 8 or above. The problem is that I have version 10 of Flash player installed (and working perfectly). I thought that a site like CNN has better QA team to check its scripts

this message from the CNN server.

This CNN.com feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 8 or higher.

You are currently using Flash Player 10

Check out the screen shot on the right, WTF ?

    It’s partially JavaScript to blame, but someone really should have paid more attention. They’re doing string comparisons instead of integer comparisons. More info on my blog here:
