Ashy Larry, Another Big Hit at kintespace.com
The statistical data for kintespace.com clearly show that an Ashy Larry screenshot from “rasx() Screenshots: Shots out at Slavery” is another big hit at kintespace.com. It would be tempting to assume that the article itself is causing such a traffic jam but, no: most of you are just posting the image up on MySpace.com or some NBA forum.
This is a wonderful opportunity to mention again that, at kintespace.com, we do not use image file requests to inflate our hits statistics. So as of the end of December, we count only 224 hits for “rasx() Screenshots: Shots out at Slavery,” which was published last October. The hit-count for the single Ashy Larry image is orders of magnitude higher than the article in which it appears! More power to Dave Chappelle, Donnel Rawlings and the soul of Comedy Central!
This search engine ‘photo op’ reminds me of a similar trend associated with the photography of “Lisa Diane Wedgeworth: goddess series” published back in March of the year 2000. Her work ended up licensed and used in printed material for a non-profit associated with breast cancer I can’t quite recall now…

I now realize that this "hit" is also considered bandwidth theft. There are .htaccess things to be done to stop this 'fun' when it gets out of hand.
