Take a look at the Jimmy Bullard lookalike. I don't mind the picture but WTF are they trying to say with the caption?

Wrote a mail to their editor. No response though and the page is still up there. Ovbiously they dont give a toss about their Irish/Scottish readership.
Dear Sir/Madam,
As a daily reader of your site I had to write to show my utter disgust at your most recent lookalike entry for Jimmy Bullard. It's not the photo that I have an issue with but more to do with the comment that was made alongside it. You may not appreciate the fact that for a large number of my own countrymen the likes of Bobby Sands were heroes battling the unwelcome hordes of british soldiers deployed in a country to keep one side of the population voiceless and powerless against their will and deny them the opportunities of a better future.
Was it really neccessary to include the line "Neither have been seen for a while, but for very, very different reasons..." What exactly did this mean? Do you endorse this?
I would find it very difficult to believe that you would run a similar lookalike of Martin Luther King JR. and a recently injured black premiership player (let's just say Ledley King for arguments sake) with the punchline "Neither have been seen for a while, but for very, very different reasons..."
Would you? I bet not.
I'd appreciate it if you could delete that comment, I know the peace process is under way but for those who don't come from this part of the world you may not really understand the magnitude of this and the offence you can cause to your large Irish readership with such ill advised posts.
Regards,
******
