REUTERS' SUBLIMINAL GAMING

I was reading the news.

I followed a link to an article on REUTERS about "a sharp rise in unwanted pets" in Britain...via an image thumbnail of two cute, abandoned kitties...

I accessed a larger image view of that pix and I got this pix o' group o' Democrats on popup instead.

Then I visited another Reuters news article about "ice shrinks" in the Arctic and, again, via selecting an image thumbnail of various ice-cave images for purposes of viewing any larger image sizes...

I got this recurring pix o' group o' Democrats on popup at that page instead of ice caves.

When I revisited both articles and repeated the same steps, I got the accurate images on popup (larger views, abandoned pets and ice caves), but when I cleared my cache (all/everything), and performed the same steps yet again, I got the pix o' Democrats yet again on larger-view popups, which means it's a REUTERS content manipulation issue (hapless or intentional, can't say) and isn't some limitation or hangup of my desktop.

Note I haven't yet made any attempts to individually access by choice, my selection, this pix o' group o' Democrats. But REUTERS sure doesnt' want me to miss it.

HOWEVER, as to the pix o' group o' Democrats, what is Bill Richardson grabbing? And why? Shrinking ice? Rise in unwanted pets?
