I am all for using an easy style to communicate sometimes-difficult information, and it's Phil's blog and he can do what he wants, but I might suggest he tone down the pop culture references just a tad, especially since a significant portion of his audience might not speak English as a first language or be otherwise unfamiliar with such popular trivia.

So Phil loves a bit of word play.. I think the essence of said remarks start and end with "Click to", and whatever comes after is irrelevant. Because we're so trained to read a remark there indicating that clicking leads to an improved version of a picture.
