Why does the Ezibuy pic appear on BigW posts?

A few weeks ago I posted a deal for baby car seats at BigW, and instead of the page to which I'd linked showing up as a pic at the link, there was something about Ezibuy. I thought it was strange, but figured it was just a glitch.

Treeman posted this deal last night and it's doing the same thing. Any idea as to why it's doing that? A bit of Googling tells me Woolworths does own Ezibuy, but it just seems a bit strange.

    Basically this is how you can verify the "thumbnail image" advertised by the website.

    1. Open the link to BigW. Vodafone Handset for example.
    2. Press Ctrl-U to get the HTML source of the page.
    3. Press Ctrl-F to search "og:image" (the Open Graph protocol image attribute)

    4. You'll find this in the source code:

      <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.bigw.com.au/assets/socialmedia_share_image.jpg" />

    When you actually look at image it's that Ezibuy picture…
