A facebook profile picture of smallest dimension (50px X 50px) will have minimum size of 3 kb.. So, if this site will show real profile pics all together, it'll have to load almost 3.5 TB of data for 1.2 billion pictures.. A connection with 100Kb/s downloading speed will take around 430 days, and a connection with 1MB/s will take around 42 days..

I don't think anyone would be interested to spend more than 2 minutes on this page.
