Who Put the Cephalopod in SEED Magazine?

 
SEED magazine is usually a pretty good magazine in spite of the fact that they get a few things wrong and in spite of the fact that they sponsor ScienceBlogsTM.

But enough is enough. Imagine my surprise when I opened the current issue (January/February 2008) to page 21 and saw this ugly, squishy, creature. As a (fairly) loyal reader, I've been tolerant of their graphics and images even though most of them don't make much sense. But this is way over the top. Did the editors forget that this magazine is displayed on news stands where young children might see it?

Who is responsible for this? And what can we do about it?


[Hint: The disgusting image seems to be associated with an article titled Eyeing the Evolutionary Past by Paul Z. Mierz.]
