Skipping “of” in reading - a funny image for a perceptual illusion

There was that image floating around the internet with a long sentence and the punchline that instances of "of" were missing or superflous. It is really hard to google "of" especially when I don't remember the punchline correctly. Somebody have a link?
There's a similar one with "the", which I don't mean, and might confuse here, and generally there is more in this vein, like the one where all letters except the first and last one in each word are jumbled but the text is still readable. A collection of these including the "of" one, or a label under which these go would help a long way. The actual question would be for an analysis of the effect, but I can't phrase the question so far.
