I'm not sure it belongs here, but its aimed here.
Does anyone else agree that these posts consisting of ONLY inline pictures, generally depicting something not even funny or clever, tied to jaggy text, which usually says something about someone's post, are the most annoying things on this damnable board.

Fishing in Google for pictures is not funny, nor creative. Just stop with them.
Use words. I think that's why there is a keyboard tied to your computer.
The exception to me is like picture from a bombing or something.

Does anyone else agree this needs to stop and that people should use facts or opinions instead?

Oh yeah, political cartoons are bordering on annoying, even from both perspectives.

Personally, I find them funny. My favorite is still Zimphire's "Al Cap0wned!" one, though, and that was many moons ago.

Bravo, everyone! Love those captioned pictures!

Keep 'em coming.

Also, is there a repository of these type of grapics somewhere on the web, or are they all homemade?
