Alpha Mask over posts by specific user

I'm seeing this odd thing where what looks like a basic alpha mask of one user's thumbnail is covering the right side of all of their posts.
Looks like this

It actually looks kind of cool, except that I use Suriko's theme, which then makes it look like this:

And it's really hard to read the text over the mask.

Can't find what element's doing it in firebug either. I only looked for about 5 minutes though. I'm pretty sure I've only seen it on Syndalis's posts.
The initial photo is from IE 10, the second is Firefox, and I've checked in Chrome and it's doing it there as well.

    I believe that it's a custom post theme, like [redacted] and Tube have over their posts.

    Edit: Whoops! I got the wrong poster. I always get a names mixed up. Sorry!

    Yeah, there were solid saints auctions to be able to customize one's posting theme.

    It's the background image in the "Item-BodyWrap" div.

    body .MessageList .Item.Role_LovesAppleProducts .Item-BodyWrap {
    background-image: url("http://i.imgur.com/TpgVozf.png") !important;
    background-position: bottom right;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    }

    Perhaps you could override that in @Suriko 's theme and set it to none or point it to an apple logo that looks good on the blue with white text over it?

    Edit:

    This looks ok. (33% alpha)
