Simply right click on the offending image and choose "Unsee" from the contextual menu.

Of course, you can't do this, so it begs a solution to a very hard AI problem: create a browser extension that will protect you from "shock" images.

The initial steps have an escalating war quality: sites may use tables of images, plugins, or any number of techniques to conceal what image they have. But the browser will ultimately win because it has (should have) the final say in what pixels get delivered to the screen.

It's a hard artificial intelligence problem (though compactly describable) because it requires computer vision to parse what is going on in the picture, some higher semantic analysis to determine that a picture is potentially shocking, and some even more human interaction understanding that the image actually is shocking based on the user not expecting to be shown it.
