Note to the local young entertainment weekly / advertising vehicle for the local paper: if you're searching Getty Images for pictures of steamed crabs to display prominently as a representation of Delaware summer activity, try to select pictures of the type of crabs that people actually eat in Delaware. It hurts my eyes to look at a huge picture of dungeoness crabs sitting above a write-up about blue crabs. It bothers me that the person putting together the imagery for this very much localized publication wouldn't notice the difference. That's like putting together a page for a newspaper in New Haven, CT, mentioning the pizza culture that that area is known for, and choosing a large picture of a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza to go with the blurb. People are going to notice these things.
