The Forbidden Button Pattern

The ultimate reverse psychology UI pattern! Some brilliant dev created buttons that say "Please don't touch this" right next to "Click here to purchase" – essentially guaranteeing everyone will press the forbidden button. It's the digital equivalent of putting a big red button labeled "DO NOT PRESS" in front of curious humans. The implementation is so beautifully lazy yet effective that it deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame for Malicious Compliance. The dev clearly understood that humans are hardwired to do exactly what they're told not to do. Probably knocked this out 5 minutes before the deadline while muttering "ship it and let QA deal with it."

I want to pull images from a certain subreddit (http:www.reddit.comrVillagePorn) and put them on a webpage. I've seen other websites do it (mainly, r ) and I can't figure out how. I tried http:www.reddit.comrVillagePorn.xml but that just returns the Thumbnail of the picture. Not even the link itself. What should I do?
