Modern Borking

Visit Opera.com with a Netscape browser (or change your UA), and you get this:

"Dont't[sic] switch your ways, just switch your browser to get the best Internet experience. Now you can download Opera and add a special Netscape skin in just one click."

And this image appears as well.

Bork using the Modern theme!
