    That's a pretty brilliant way to associate birthdays with IP addresses. I'm probably going to get ads now that say "I see you are located in the US and are over 21. Watch [this video] to find out how to be the most interesting man in the world." And others are going to see "I see you are a 13 year old girl. Watch [this video] to get tickets to Justin Bieber's upcoming concert."

        It's an UKian site, doesn't the Data Protection Act prohibit that sort of thing? Not that websites usually care about laws, but maybe the BBC might..
