At first I thought the all-text-in-images technique was an anti-screenscraping attempt, but what OCR program is really going to have trouble with that font?
And if you're *that* committed to doing something so stupid, you should at least buy your own bandwidth for your giant superfluous images instead of forcing Flickr to deal with it.

The Great Big Table image is kind of silly, but I'm not inclined to complain too loudly since I've seen web design that's far worse.
I saw this site a few weeks ago and thought the same about the text in image state by state electoral votes listings: totally insane.
That's what tables are for...
