Android Bookmarklet - Reader View (Simplified Page)

In chrome on android the "Simplified Page" feature does not have a button. If for some reason the browser decides not to display the layover toast message to access this feature, then the user is unable to enter "simplified view". The solution to this problem has been discussed before on Stack Overflow here, where they suggest opening a url to access a local resource on the browser cache. The local resource URL is formatted as follows:

chrome-distiller://<UUID>_<HASH>/?url=<URL>

It is not permitted to perform a javascript redirect to a local resource in the browser, however it is possible to display the URL as text.

// Requires jQuery of course.
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.show-comments').on('click', function(){
          var disqus_shortname = 'YOUR-DISQUS-USERNAME'; // Replace this value with *your* username.

          // ajax request to load the disqus javascript
          $.ajax({
                  type: "GET",
                  url: "http://" + disqus_shortname + ".disqus.com/embed.js",
                  dataType: "script",
