Regarding the AFA boycott page

In my previous post about the AFA's boycott of The Home Depot (Dept. of Shopping), I happened to look at the coding of the AFA post and found something truly unexpected. The headline is a series of images glued onto the page like a ransom note.
They're using cufon, which is an open source library that converts text to images.
(I had to use an image because of a problem displaying HTML code in Blogger)

I can only guess that they're trying to prevent some kind of screen-scraping from their content. Ah, well, I hope that they're having fun.
