 not apply to the argument...for, IMHO, aside from the most important: total 'translatability', the
 practical reason for doing ascii-art is that the file-size is smaller than a gif or jpeg for the
 same sized picture.

I have to wonder if the reason why the media keeps throwing the word "Papparazzi"(sp?) about
is that they are trying to separate themselves from these sick-o's...even though their
constant use of this tragedy to sell advertising space is exactly the same thing as what
caused it in the first place.  STOP THE MADNESS-DON'T BUY THAT CRAP AND GET OVER YOUR FAME
ADDICTION!
