I thought that this was all pretty common knowledge..
However, those "ads" are pretty suspect with the mismatched font and butchering of the English language.. They look like Photoshop work to me..

Called out for what? You ever heard of this really cool way to find information called "Google"? You just put in the words you are searching for and hit enter and, then something really amazing happens... it returns results based on what you searched for. Try it some time. It's really easy. Also, I didn't find the information on Jake's blog. It may be on his blog, but I found it elsewhere. That's the other amazing about this thing called the internet, you can find information from several sources. |

Anyway, it's good form to give your source, especially if you're using the source's photos/images
