 Replying to [comment:38 jorbin]:
 > "Cheatin', uh?" to me, is a core part of the flavor of WordPress.  I
 wouldn't want to lose it and become a stuffy corporate application.

 If we want to sustain the flavor, let's insert a cheeky "something's
 messed up" image. As guidod notes, this is often a user-facing error, so
 surfacing a helpful error message can help users solve a capability issue
 - e.g. "oh, this tells us Jenn doesn't have the capability
 `edit_theme_options`. Let's elevate her role to Administrator."
