Bad Javascript in SMF theme?

[ssmithisme]

I recently found a string of javascript in a theme for Simple Machines Forum that didnt look very nice. Can anyone tell what it does?

<script Language=\'Javascript\'><!--

document.write(unescape("%09%09<script%20%6C%61%6E%67%75%61%67%65%3D%22%4A%61%76%61%53%63%72%69%70%74%22%20%74%79%70%65%3D%22%74%65%78%74%2F%6A%61%76%61%73%63%72%69%70%74%22%3E%3C%21%2D%2D%20%2F%2F%20%2D%2D%3E%3C%21%5B%43%44%41%54%41%5B%0A%09%09%09%66%75%6E%63%74%69%6F%6E%20%73%6D%66%46%6F%6F%74%65%72%48%69%67%68%6C%69%67%68%74%28%65%6C%65%6D%65%6E%74%2C%20%76%61%6C%75%65%29%0A%09%09%09%7B%0A%09%09%09%09%65%6C%65%6D%65%6E%74%2E%73%72%63%20%3D%20%73%6D%66%5F%69%6D%61%67%65%73%5F%75%72%6C%20%2B%20%22%2F%22%20%2B%20%28%76%61%6C%75%65%20%3F%20%22%68%5F%22%20%3A%20%22%22%29%20%2B%20%65%6C%65%6D%65%6E%74%2E%69%64%20%2B%20%22%2E%67%69%66%22%3B%0A%09%09%09%7D%0A%09%09%2F%2F%20%5D%5D%3E%3C%2F%73%63%72%69%70%74%3E%0A%09%09%3C%62%72%3E%3C%74%61%62%6C%65%20%63%65%6C%6C%73%70%61%63%69%6E%67%3D%22%30%22%20%63%65%6C%6C%70%61%64%64%69%6E%67%3D%22%33%22%20%62%6F%72%64%65%72%3D%22%30%22%20%77%69%64%74%68%3D%22%31%30%30%25%22%3E%0A%09%09%09%3C%74%72%3E%0A%09%09%09%09%3C%74%64%20%77%69%64%74%68%3D%22%32%37%25%22%20%73%74%79%6C%65%3D%22%70%61%64%64%69%6E%67%2D%6C%65%66%74%3A%20%35%70%78%3B%22%20%76%61%6C%69%67%6E%3D%22%6D%69%64%64%6C%65%22%20%61%6C%69%67%6E%3D%22%27%2C%20%24%63%6F%6E%74%65%78%74%5B%27%72%69%67%68%74%5F%74%6F%5F%6C%65%66%74%27%5D%20%3F%20%27%72%69%67%68%74%27%20%3A%20%27%6C%65%66%74%27%2C%27%22%3E%0A%09%09%09%09%09%3C%66%6F%6E%74%20%73%69%7A%65%3D%22%31%22%3E%4E%6F%73%74%61%6C%67%69%61%20%54%68%65%6D%65%20%62%79%20%3C%2F%66%6F%6E%74%3E%3C%61%20%68%72%65%66%3D%22%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%77%77%77%2E%73%6D%66%74%75%72%6B%2E%6E%65%74%2F%22%20%74%61%72%67%65%74%3D%22%5F%62%6C%61%6E%6B%22%20%73%74%79%6C%65%3D%22%66%6F%6E%74%2D%73%69%7A%65%3A%31%30%70%78%3B%22%20%61%6C%74%3D%22%53%69%6D%70%6C%65%20%4D%61%63%68%69%6E%65%73%20%46%6F%72%75%6D%20%44%65%73%74%65%6B%20%53%69%74%65%73%69%2C%20%53%69%7A%69%6E%64%65%20%47%FC%76%65%6E%6C%69%20%53%69%74%65%6E%69%7A%20%4F%6C%73%75%6E%22%3E%68%75%73%6D%65%6E%37%33%20%26%20%4D%61%73%74%65%72%68%61%6E%3C%2F%61%3E%0A%09%09%09%09%3C%2F%74%64%3E%0A%09%09%09%09%3C%74%64%20%76%61%6C%69%67%6E%3D%22%6D%69%64%64%6C%65%22%20%73%74%79%6C%65%3D%22%77%68%69%74%65%2D%73%70%61%63%65%3A%20%6E%6F%77%72%61%70%3B%22%3E%0A%09%09%09%09%09"));//--></Script>

What person would put that in javascript?

Some one who doesn't want you to easily grep for the contents of the theme credits so you can remove it.

Apparently so... Because that was in the footer, but it has a backward effect on me. As soon as I glanced at it i hit the delete key.
