[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Onwriting.jpg

Image:Onwriting.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] What does this mean?

This paragraph from "Appearances in other media" doesn't make sense to me. Please explain and clarify, and if you can't, please remove the paragraph. Thanks. Asides/questions are mine:

"In an episode of the TV series 'Lost,' Sawyer is fooled into thinking that he has been injected with a pacemaker, and Ben Linus shows him its effects on a white rabbit with a number 8 spray-painted on its back. This is a nod at 'the numbers' (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) [WHAT NUMBERS? WHERE? WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ON WRITING?]. It is also a reference to part two of On Writing, in which Stephen King explains writing is like telepathy, and uses the bunny [WHAT BUNNY?] as an example of this [HOWSO?]."
