There is an article on "Download Squad" about Schedules direct. The article contains a link that is supposed to point to GBPVR but takes you here.

They've put a dash in the URL - idiots.

Download Squad is a pretty major blog. You think they would confirm their links before posting.

It looks like the link has been fixed (at least the one I found took me to the right place).

Cheers,

almost ANY almost popular site will have alternate sites if you spell it wrong.

my nephew mistyped cartoonnetwork.com and a big animated pic of 2 naked girls going at it popped up.
(I think he only had 1 "N" in the middle)
