Actually, about.com is entirely a throw-away site. They make their money off of SEO marketers who need lots of referral links to their sites to boost their Google page ranking. They'll post any old crud as long as it contains lots of links or references to the sponsors.
Best to skip about.com and find more authoritative sources for search results.
