AV using LS title and description

I've just had a look at AV results, and it seems that whenever a site has a LookSmart listing AV replaced its meta-tag title and description with those given by LookSmart - and the search results changed accordingly... :(
I do hope this is temporary and that they reconsider this - given LookSmart's track record of butchering titles and descriptions, they are actually penalizing many of the sites listed in LookSmart.
If this persists, I am NOT going to submit any sites to LookSmart, since for all of my sites traffic from AV outweighs by far any of the traffic gained by being listed in LookSmart...

Something is wack-o over at AV right now. On my search term (a US beach resort), the first site is now in German and there's even a crudely titled porn site mixed in with the SERP. Neither have any discernable matching keys in the source.
