Not a virus per se but there is something seriously wrong with it - perhaps this is a bug that happens with empty image lists like that (as I doubt IMDB expected someone to do whatever it is they did there). I suspect someone has been tinkering to see what they can do.

Anyone wanting to check should open this in a new tab, so you can close it again:

This is definitely a bug, which I was able to replicate.

The navigation tool bar cycles between these to addresses.

Chris Liebelt asked a question about a zero length list that exhibits an undesirable feature, which I was able to replicate.

Yep, not a virus obviously but definitely a bug of some sort. We're looking into it. Thanks for reporting this.

Note: It appears that the bug may lead to a memory leak that can cause your PC to freeze if the page for an empty image list is left open for an extended period of time.
