Yup, I can confirm. techcrunch.com redirects to guce.techcrunch.com, which redirects to guce.advertisting.com, which then redirects back to techcrunch.com. This only happens on the first page load (presumably due to cookies being set for the guce.techcrunch.com domain).

The redirects are really fast, seems like the only reason @esaym noticed is that they are blocking advertising.com via their hosts file which prevents the final redirect back to techcrunch.com.
