I see from your profile you're based in Canada - here in the UK, I've found it's the regional redirects that are breaking things (because the regional sites aren't on the new setup yet). Assuming the same thing is affecting Canadian users, if you delete either the "ca." from the hostname or the #! from the path string, the link should work.

It seemingly applies everywhere except the US. Even though I now know the workaround, I still refuse to read their articles out of spite at their incompetence. It's all I can do to stop myself spitting at the screen.

The link works for me in Australia but the sidebar is positioned over the content.

Thank you for explaining why this is happening! I couldn't understand why literally every single Gawker link doesn't work for me, on any computer... it seems unbelievable they haven't fixed this yet.
