Here's the reply I recieved back.

thanks for your correcting note, much more polite than many others we received; our photo editor regrets the error

Hmmm...I emailed him and I wasn't rude (OK, maybe a teeny-tiny bit) and he never responded back to me.

I was also wondering whether he actually got permission to use those photos...the BP one was an AP image...don't you have to pay to use their stuff? Isn't the artist that made that Obama poster getting sued by the AP for using one of their images without permission?

Maybe another 'lil email is in store...

I called him, he was not very happy.

I told him that i was a college student who was concerned about an error on the poster, he DEMANDED to know my college and my major (neither of which had any pertinence to the conversation). I was extremely polite, told him of the error and why we in the reptile community like to see things like this get fixed because we don't want the public getting the wrong information. He told me he was aware of the rror and would speak to the editing department about fixing it in the next publication (...) I thanked him for his time and hung up.

Not a nice fella.. I dont think he's to happy that someone has actually noticed their cleverly disguised "mistake."
