I'm using .htaccess to "forbid" them right now. Has anyone thought of anything useful to do with this traffic?

You can open them up to 404 sponsors... but these convert pretty crappily. I'd say open them up to "feeder" pages -- you can use these to qualify "junk" traffic or feed traffic swaps [if you do the latter, make sure you tell your swap partner].

Can I do this with Image redirects? Shit my bandwidth went through the fuckin roof for about 5 minutes yesterday until I detected & eliminated the problem.

My MRTG graphs look like I was giving away dinner at The Keg to any Ethiopian* who could get on my site between 1:30 and 1:35.

You can show an image the has something like "Visit http://www.yoursite.com to see this image" instead of the real picture. That is done using .htaccess
