The Sharp Electronics website redirects me to
http://sharpelectronics.com/browser.html, which tells
me to "Upgrade (sic) Your Browser", with the following
message: "To fully experience the Sharp USA site, you need to have Version 4 or
above of Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator Version 4.x. Download Internet
Explorer"

Changing my useragent string didn't make a difference.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to http://sharpelectronics.com with Mozilla


Actual Results:  Infuriating, supercilious message instead of content.

Expected Results:  Expected expensive, shiny Japanese electronic gewgaws.
