On some sites that happens but not with Tinypic's direct link. I can
watch the download addys and it's only the direct link to the pic and it
shows it full size, not a smaller version in a bloated page. Use any
newer browser and clicking on that direct link will redirect you to a
link that downloads and shows all the bloat.
