What?

Received a request for permission to use one of my photos for a news story. As so:


Okay, nothing odd about that, I usually say yes. But when I went to see which photo and for what story, I got this:


Eh? That's clearly a screenshot ("original"). I couldn't give you people any kind of permission to use that, it's not mine. Furthermore, it was for story on the addition of new words to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, specifically the word "subprime." How is Dollhouse Dude illustrative of shady lending practices? I don't even know how they came to find that, the tags are nothing but lyrics to Love's "A House is Not a Motel."

ETA: Sigh, yes I realize the text has the word "subprime" in it but surely their bots are better than that, no? Some kind of context? No.
