I have a galaxy nexus running the stock android 4.2.2 and I opened the
above in my browser and clicked the "send to phone" button and it looks
fine.

Looks good to me.

Very weird.  Maybe verizon is running some kind of proxy, or the custom

Try browser -> settings -> request desktop site.

Maybe your browser agent is causing the website to send the images as
flash or something.
