However, when I had it done to me by a site I didn't particularly want doing it (a cheeky casino site), I did the following;

Copied the referenced image file on my website to a second filename.
Changed the source img reference on my website to the new filename so the image doesn't change on my website.
Changed the original linked file to something much more amusing but kept the name the same, so the remote linked IMG will still refer to your new much more amusing file

Like this, for example;
