Blogger Flag Objectionable Blog Feature Broken

All free blog hosting services are fighting a huge fight against the automated use of their service for a variety of nefarious purposes. The worst offenders use javascript to automatically redirect the user to download pages for spyware.

On Blogger, they provide a "Flag this Blog" button to easily report blogs that violate their Terms of Service or Content Policy. Sadly, this button requires Javascript to be enabled -- making it impossible to quickly report the worst offending blogs.

Please note, the following links to an example of a Blogger blog that is impossible to report because the user is immediately hijacked away from the page:

Please fix this Blogger! :(
