    Why did you make me look!?

    The dog on the counter, which the face replaced, creeped me out.

    Funny, I ignore all those pictures.,the dog on the counter was a GW's dog in a "does my dog match my kitchen?" thread.

    I just felt the dog was looking at me, LOL! For some reason the person's face in the dirt doesn't give me the same reaction. At least they have been changing the photos. It seemed like we had the same ones for sooo long.

    yes, that dog one, well, dogs give me the warm fuzzies!

    It seems I am oblivious LOL. I never noticed the dog pic and probably would have not seen the face pic had not not posted.

    Me too!!! I am claustrophobic and it's leaning toward being buried alive, so that's what really bothers me.

    Well, that face in the dirt is definitely weird but the most awful was a picture of a pile of compost including rotting food. Ugh.

    Ditto to what EmeraldIsle wrote! I am not "digging" that!

    The dog, actually, was jodi_in_so_calif's late passed pooch Lilly and she had sentimentally photoshopped her onto the countertop. No countertops were dirtied during the making of that photo.

    Just fyi for those who were grossed out. :)

    I thought it was jodi's kitchen which I always loved. It didn't bother me to see the dog on the counter, just felt like she was looking right at me. Also, I couldn't tell if it was a real dog or a statue. It being photoshopped explains that.

    Its funny how people react to things differently. There was a thread not long ago on the cooking forum??? about a toaster strudel commercial. Some said it gave them the creeps, others not.

    Install Adblock Plus 2.6.
    Right click on the image
    Select "Adblock Plus Block Image"

    I did it with all of the dessert pictures, too. :)

    Here is a link that might be useful: Adblock Plus addon for Firefox

    I have adblock plus and don't get any ads but these aren't ads are they?

    Ah ...finally..I don't have those photos on my PC. I have the one at the top with 3 people gardening.

    But I just turned on my Kindle Fire and saw the face!

    I wish I knew a way to eliminate ads and extraneous photos from my Kindle tablet.

    They aren't ads, they're links to GW promoted threads, so an ad block shouldn't get rid of them if it's working properly.

    EDIT And yeah, the face creeps me out, too. :)

    Back when posters where complaining about the huge daffodils on GW I followed someone's advice and used Adblock and eliminated the flowers from my PC.

    The only photos I have on this GW page are the 3 gardeners at the top and then an orange Calendar of Events - no face in the dirt. I only see it when I use my Kindle Fire.

    I found the post - it was on the Kitchen Table. When I followed Bob's suggestion the daffodils went away. I wonder if you could do the same for the face in the dirt?

    ............original post.....
    Is there anyway to turn off the background image?

    I use AdBlockPlus in Firefox, it allows you to open a list of all blockable items on a page. Ctrl-Shift-V

    One of the items so listed is:
    http://graphics.gardenweb.com/graphics/ivil/home_25-03-14/YellowDaff.jpg

    Select and block that specific URL, and reload the page.

    I just tried it - I clicked Ctrl-Shift-V and a list of blockable items came up. One of them is the 'compost' graphic.

    Since I'm not getting the face in the dirt on my computer I can't try it to see if it will block it. But it worked on the daffodil image when I tried that one.

    Is it the veggies used as horns or the Criminal Minds idea of a body dump?

    Creeps me out too.

    Cool. Face is gone. Great tip.

    Here's an easier way to block the photo - gadgets just posted one Kitchen Table.

    ...".I use adblock plus, right click on the picture, click on adblock plus, then click on 'add filter'. It only blocks the picture, not the link. "
