Pleeeeeeeeze tell me why I must be subjected to such a gawdawful picture to check my yahoo mail. Yes, geekfreeks, I can block images from yahoo. But then I can't see the images on the buttons or many other useful things when I am in yahoo mail. First, we had to stare at the ho-hum brunette for something near 2 years. Now we have a rotating set of pictures, and this picture is one of them. So it's worse, even, because we might get the nice pic of the surfer, or we might get the guy who's ripping his eyeball sockets off his face. Yahoo, I'm 'bout ready to bail to gmail.
