I tend to agree with you, but the article wasn't supposed to be very technical in the first place, and: both those GIFs are from Dexter, the show of which I used a season in my tests. It's not completely unrelated.
I'm writing some technical documentation for a project right now - perhaps I'll put in a few tasteful images from Baywatch to make sure the project managers who have to read it will make it to the end.
