Stupid things that bug me and are dumb #1

Salon.com is a great website, probably the first one I read in the morning when I get the chance. Their system of watching a commercial a day to access content is fine but one thing really bugs me, in Mozilla type browsers (dunno if the problem happens in IE, I didn't go in a Burger King) I like to scan the headlines and open each interesting one in an additional tab for later reading, in the new tab you get a paragraph of the story and then the prompt to watch the commercial. Thing is though that when you select more than one story and then watch the commercial in any tab other than the last one the story changes to the last story tab you opened, for example if I see a story 'Bush is a lying liar' and open it in a new tab, then scroll down and see another interesting story 'Cheney is Vader' and open it in a new tab then go to the Bush story tab and watch the commerical the page will change the to the last tab I opened, the Cheney story once the commercial finishes, this happens even if I close the second story before watching the commercial. This annoys me every morning.
