That's not how <noscript> works.

I generally browse with NoScript, so it's never too surprising when I see a snippet of script rendered as text in a page, such as I saw at the bottom of http://www.citypaper.com/blogs/the-news-hole/bcpnews-why-were-not-running-maakies-anymore-20150417,0,3521364.story:

But seeing the HTML entities made me suspect something unusual, so I took a look at the source:

<p><p>Baltimore City Paper, 501 N. Calvert Street, P.O. Box 1377, Baltimore, MD 21278</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */var google_conversion_id = 1001362278;var google_conversion_label = "dSLbCJK-vwMQ5qa-3QM";var google_custom_params = window.google_tag_params;var google_remarketing_only = true;/* ]]> */ </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="//www.googleadservices.com/pagead/conversion.js"> </script><noscript>&amp;amp;lt;div style="display:inline;"&amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;lt;img height="1" width="1" style="border-style:none;" alt="" src="//googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/1001362278/?value=0&amp;amp;amp;amp;label=dSLbCJK-vwMQ5qa-3QM&amp;amp;amp;amp;guid=ON&amp;amp;amp;amp;script=0 &amp;amp;lt;http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/1001362278/?value=0&amp;amp;amp;amp;label=dSLbCJK-vwMQ5qa-3QM&amp;amp;amp;amp;guid=ON&amp;amp;amp;amp;script=0&amp;amp;gt; "/&amp;amp;gt; &amp;amp;lt;/div&amp;amp;gt;</noscript>
</p>

I don't know which part of '<noscript>' they don't get, but it sure looks like it's the 'no' part!

Someone had a problem. So they said "let's escape HTML entities." Now they have &lt;img src=&quot;/images/emoji/emoji_one/two.png?v=0&quot; title=&quot;

&quot; class=&quot;emoji&quot; alt=&quot;two&quot;&gt; problems.
