Official forums bugged, displaying in Korean

There's an odd error on the official forums today. Apparently the static parts of the web page (ie: non-user entered text) are showing up in Korean. Some users are not seeing it, but that is likely due to a cached version of the page they have.
Blizzard is aware of the problem and, according to Bornakk, they are working to fix the issue.
We'll update this post when the issue has been corrected.

Not even the Blizzard forums are safe from the hackers. Maybe Blizzard should invest in their own authenticators. ;)

If you clear your cookies, close your browser, then reopen the forums again, it fixes itself.
Some are blaming it on GM Maaven's /facepalm post. Some are blaming it on the Javascript on the wow site incorrectly detecting the wrong language.
Using Firefox, and it was fine until I went to the /facepalm post. Insta-Korean text for me.

Not only am I seeing the Korean in the forums, without going to any facepalm post, but my login keeps failing on the WoW Armory. The account management page seems to open, but the whole Blizz site has been acting wonky for me most of the day.

ditto here - no access to the armory but other parts of the site seem to be working as intended with the proper login.
Must be Tuesday.

It appears that the US Forums are fixed and are having no issues at the moment. I am not seeing any Korean anywhere on the forums.
