They didn't tweak the picture's address

I use a shortcut that's usually considered crass in the internet world by "hot-linking" to pictures on other sites. I get away with it because the load on the Zone is pretty low and the added bandwidth and usage on the original site is nil. If somebody like Instapundit with tens of thousands of users did hotlinks, they would be instant skunks.
