One of my monotonous tasks at work is to find images to use for various projects. Today, as I was searching for an appropriate picture for a website we are creating, I found some mild amusement in the absolutely terrible stock photos. And I wanted to share my joy with you, internet.
My query: Doctor + Computer
Results:
A candid, taken on the set of a really bad soap opera.
Anyone can be a male model, even zombies!
Just another reason why Macs are better than PCs.
They photoshopped out the laser beams coming from her eyes. (which is too bad, cause that would have made the picture awesome)
Wow.
Thinking, “This is SO gonna get me laid.”
Someone farted right before they snapped this shot. Guess who it was!!
There were so many more awful pictures, I wish I could show them all to you. Some alarmingly unattractive people, and a tremendous amount of gay innuendo. All in all, the lesson learned today is: when bored, look up some awesome stock photography!
P.S. If you haven’t used istockphoto.com yet, you really should check it out. It is infinitely better than getty images. Images are less than 10 bucks, and it’s so much easier to find good shots. I highly recommend it.
Haha - great post! I enjoyed it thoroughly.
iStockPhoto and dreamstime are good, veer is great! You should check it out.
Oh my gosh medical stock is the WORST, I vote that we shoot all medical creative directors every day, forever. I nearly perished of empathy for you just now.
I am starting my own blog, consisting entirely of entries people post on their sites after I tell them I’m sick of reading the same damn post every day for three weeks for God’s sake - because you guys totally come through when I whine at you! Sweet sweetness! It will be a compilation blog of other people’s genius in response to my neediness. A good resume builder, no? www.plzblgnowkthxbai.com
I submit Honorable Mention: All Night Mexican Food.

Oh man, that’s awesome. I’m so glad I don’t have a computer that tries to give me shots.
