Watch as a terrifying image of William McKinley flashes before your eyes as toggling gets enabled.

We should avoid scaring people.

Luckily it only effects beta on a large browser resolution so we should only be scaring a minority of our readers.

Now I cannot see McKinley at all. The image gets loaded and the President then disappears! That's scary, too! Where's the President?!

He's actually in the first section - he gets sucked into it ;-)
Will be fixed in tomorrow's deployment so you can breath a sigh of relief.
