Not the gp, but I had the same reaction. It is a good idea to break up the text and use images to convey one's point. However, I found the quality of the images chosen quite poor.
Just like there is an art to writing, there is also an art to choosing the correct imagery to accompany the text. Besides the poor technical quality, many of the images in the article are using visual cliches. Together, these problems subconsciously guide the reader into expecting a similarly low quality from the text.
I'd suggest combing through the Creative Commons images on something like http://compfight.com/ http://compfight.com/ for things that are a bit more unusual and visually interesting.
It's also worth pointing out that if you just can't find any good images to accompany your article, it may be better to just let the text speak for itself.
