Lets do the math. 150MB/visit @ 0.12/GB using Amazon CloudFront[1] costs $0.018/visit. This post was pretty popular here and I'm sure on other sites. It's probably safe to assume they got over 50,000 hits. For that much traffic it'll cost them roughly $900 in bandwidth.
However, I bet all the lost traffic due to people leaving the page was probably worse than having to pay $900.
