My guess is it wasn't at first, but the fact that it's still live and in such a prominent position, it's a not-so-inside-anymore joke.

Since then, every two or three months I get an e-mail from someone telling us about it. It takes five minutes to change the header but for some reason I now enjoy it being there. It's like the arrow in the FedEx logo. Sort of. I never noticed the ASS text until someone pointed it out literally after 30 minutes from when I uploaded that header image.
