I'm all in favor of quoting a bit of the text and linking to the original, but Anil's suggested method doesn't have any advantages over that, as far as I can see. Embedding non-text content (e.g., videos) so that you can actually SEE it -- that makes sense. But using JavaScript to embed text instead of simply pasting it? What's the payoff, for any of the parties involved? I don’t get it.
