Major problem here is that ten million horny geeks are likely to bring
your server to its knees, but if one only has one image, and it is
moderately small, say thirty thousand bytes, perhaps the flood would
taper off eventually.

That's a good idea for a civil disobedience campaign: get a picture you
like from alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.*, shrink it to 20K or 30K, and
make it available on your homepage as ObCDA. Everybody who's got a home
page should display one. :-)
