The picture may trigger seizures in those susceptible to such things (like some in my family). If you want to include the graphic in the front page, tone down the contrast and brightness levels until it no longer triggers the effect. This would give some hint of what the link will show. Sorry for being such a downer, but it's an important issue for me. Thanks I request that you remove the graphic from your main page, add a warning, and include a link, instead.
