Maybe the following link is just funny for marketing types like myself- but I’m going to gamble that others will find it funny too.  It’s about a woman that gets seen a lot because she’s a stock-art model.  If you’re not familiar with stock-art, basically you can buy images to use in advertising, websites, etc.  The problem is if you can buy the image, so can others.

The woman in question hawks bags, dating sites, beauty tips, etc.  I’ve personally seen her on a advertising weight-loss and Dominos Pizza.

My friend Grace even found her on a site she did the copy for.

The message here is take caution when using stock-art images.

Here’s the link - read all 3 pages, there’s a twist in the story at the end.
