Apparently people aren't aware that not everybody lives in the US, but some may want to see the US page of the website anyway. Auto-redirecting people to the local version is incredibly stupid, particularly when it ends in a 404.
It's a British publisher, so they're not unaware, just incompetent.
Maybe the global page would work better than the US page which is the HN link.
