Of course if you are using white on black text, then readability may not
be something you are inclined to worry about.

One of my pet peeves is magazines that think running the text across a
colour photo is OK as long as you use white text where it hits the
photo. Another is where in the interests of "style" they use a
ragged-left justification and run the text around an irregular image.

I guess they really don't want people to actually read the words.....

It's got to do with potential and lack of resistance...
