The text after: "Check it out at our products and services in the content menu."
cannot be selected, right up to the picture of the man holding up pictures of
himself.

The picture of the guy performing in front of the judges in yellow underwear can
be selected, as can the text before "Check it out at our products and services
in the content menu."

If you drag the cursor from "Check it out at our products and services in the
content menu" until the picture of the guy performing in front of the judges in
yellow underwear, all of the intervening text and pictures will be selected.

There's a transparent div positioned over the text in question.  Clicks go to
that div, not to the text, and that div has no text to select.
