The two "thumbnails" in the Featured News sidebar on this page are two 720p GIFs, totaling about 32MB. There is another 7MB GIF that I don't even see used anywhere. The result is 40 MB burned on peripheral junk and I never get to see how goofy the glasses look because the pictures in the main article never manage to load.

edit: Oh wait, they are actually animated WEBPs, just renamed to .gif.
