Try going to the commadelimited.com URL directly in your browser. It
looks like it's not returning the correct JSONP format.
Flickr returns (with callback=foo in the URL):
foo( {...json...} )
and commadelimited returns:
[ {...json...} ]

So it looks like the problem is on the server side.

Remember, jQuery uses JSONP by creating a <script> element and using
the URL as the src attribute, so the returned text is executed as
javascript.
foo( {...json...} );
calls the function foo with the relevant data so you can use it.
[ {...json...} ];
creates an array with the data but promptly throws it away.
