Oh god, is google now trying to rip off "Bing" by placing annoying pictures on the search engine, or is this some sneaky attempt to get people to sign up, so they can "customise" (posh for unbastardise) the front page?

I don't have, want or need another email account.

*EDIT*
Apparently you can't change it even if you have an account without resorting to script blockers. Whatever.
