==Explanation==<br />
<br />
The comic shows a chart between the # of members of the pagan religion {{w|Wicca}} and the # of times Mozilla's web browser {{w|Firefox}} has been downloaded, the implication being that Firefox is related to Wicca. The page lists Internet Explorer, a rival web browser, and the cross, representing Christianity, on the bottom, implying that it is an attempt at discouraging Firefox by both Internet Explorer and a Christian source.<br />
<br />
The title text is reminiscent of commercials, which tell you who paid for them. The last sentence is a play on the term of {{w|Closed source software}}, which Internet Explorer is, as oppose to Firefox, which was open source in development.<br />
