One of the inherent difficulties in posting pictures to the web is that some idiot is bound to deep link directly to the photo file rather than download it and upload it to their own site and then link from there. People go to Google image search, find an image, and link directly to it from there. It happens to me on occassion, but this time I decided to exact revenge. I goatse’d my first photo linker.
Someone linked directly to a photo of Ted Leo, of Pharmacists fame, from their own music blog to this post I wrote a couple of years ago.
Here’s a screenshot from the offenders original page:

And here’s screenshot of his page goatse’d after I changed the deep-linked file:

I chose to use the cookie version of the goatse rather than one of the more graphical ones that are not work safe.
