How to get around the Wikipedia blackout (if you have to)

I whole heartedly support the protests against SOPA and PIPA, but also recognize that Wikipedia has become an essential service for a lot of people. If you need to get around the black out, and read something on wikipedia, go to the page you need, then put this in your address bar and press enter ... javascript:(function(){$("#mw-sopaOverlay").attr('style', 'display:none'); $("#mw-page-base, #mw-head-base, #content, #mw-head, #mw-panel, #footer").attr('style', 'display:block;');})(); Like I said, this isn't meant to detract from any of the protesting. Just helping out people who are aware, and *actively opposed to these two bills.
