Would you recommend waiting to use the script until after the dom is ready?

@David Walsh: I really like this :)
Instead of remove it , i’ll replace it with a default / error images :)

but maybe with a big rich DOM this could be stressing for the browser (especially shitty ones like IEs)?

To avoid broken images in wordpress I suggest using the Hot Linked Image Cacher plugin which will cache all hotlinked images in your uploads folder and relink the images to the original source. I run this every couple of posts to keep from having broken images in the first place.

Neat simple trick. The only thing i would argue, and this really comes down to everyones individual situation, is that instead of removing the image, I would replace it with a default/error image.

This trick does not seem to work on IE7, at least not for me.
