Photo

Whose fault is this? The photographer? The models? The prop guy? We don't think these stock images really have any discernable use, but they still manage to exist anyway. If anyone needs a stock image for an angry doctors conference or a sexy pumpkin festival, we know where to send you. The world of stock images can be a weird one. Here are stories from people who found their stock photos being used in the strangest of places.

Back when a kid could just walk around the woods alone all day. Back when you could give a baby a beer and a bottle rocket. Back when a child's car seat was pretty much just a mobile iron murder cage. Has parenting gotten safer and more responsible or just less fun? Little of column A, little of column B.

We're huge fans of calling out ridiculous and stupid lies on the internet, as well as long, specific and hilariously overthought tumblr threads. But when the two collide. Oh hell yeah. Anyway beware people lying about magical melons online.

One day someone asks if you mind being in a couple pictures, then the next day you find yourself in an ad for extra-small condoms. The stock photo game can be a weird one, and these people found out the hard way.

Your spine isn't gonna tingle itself, so go ahead and outsource the job. Here are some spooky pics to help keep you up at night, because you want that for some reason. For some two sentence horror stories, check out these.

Get your fill of selfish, gross and generally awful behavior that shines a puke-yellow light on your fellow man. Most people aren't like this, but it's hard not to feel bad about the world after seeing the sheer stinking trashiness that can be birthed from humanity. If you wanna see more, check these out.

Okay, the eye-exploding was a hyperbole. But why would you want to look at these if you knew they would make your eyes literally explode? These pictures of skewed perspective will make your eyes do some acrobatics in order to understand what's actually going on. In case this isn't enough eye-confusing strangeness then here's some more.

Say what you will about kids today, we haven't seen hair this big since the 1980s. How did this ever go out of style?

Sure they can't think and have no concept of determination, but damn these green bastards are hard to kill.

Uncomfortable and mildly infuriating. 

Looks like it's time to go back to the drawing board. 

These ridiculous FAIL photos from sporting events are probably just a small taste of what sports photographers see every day.

These classic fail photos give a brief glimpse into the lives of people who were having a really rough go at life.

Look very closely...

They're going to regret this when their kids see it. 

We would like to say that you can't argue with photographic evidence but some people can and DO argue that the Earth is actually flat. If you're not a government clone of a celebrity (like Tila Tequila) or if you believe in science, you'll still love these amazing pictures of Earth from outer space.
