EDIT In the couple of minutes it took me to post this the site has now become NSFW!

Welcome to Mr. Merg McMerg...

...with his heart warming, gonad shrivelling frist psot.

PSA: Daily image sites required

As you may have noticed there is now a daily image bar down the right hand side. The javascript I've written for this can be extended very easily to add more sites serving daily pics.
