It’s rarely a good idea to hotlink to images on other web sites you don’t control.
For one, the site could go dark, or close up shop, in which case the image you’re using is gone and you’re left with an empty space.
But, in some cases, that may not be the worst case. Maybe, instead, someone on the other end decides to have a little fun at your expense, and replace the image you were linking to with something else.
al Jazeera got zapped on it about two months ago, and now it’s happened again to John McCain.
