# hey, just trying to help!
nevermind you are not listening, twat!

gifs are good for large blocks of color like that and necessary for animations.
jpgs are more geared towards photo-type images.
all has to do with the way they compress the images.

as a gif you would have gotten clean black & white on the bottom image,
but as jpg you get those little compression artefacts where the colors meet (those little grey splotches).
