This makes me long back to good old Opera 6, where you could just press 
"G" and all images disappear and you can read the text without any 
irritating blinking ads, or offensive pornography.

Why can't every browser simply have such a useful feature? :)

Inspired by that, I might suggest the following two features. We could 
have (1) a "?disableimages=1" option that would display an article with 
all the images removed, and (2) a wiki syntax to link to it. Then, when 
people voice objection to the graphical content of a page, we could add 
{{msg:offensiveimages}} at the top, which would add something like

     :'''''Notice:''' Some people have voiced objection to the images
     on this page. [[[disableimages]|View this page without images]]''
