Yeah, I was going to post this one too. Hilarious. Thanks for the link - some of those pictures are a new art form. I am starting to wonder if these photo companies are just big jokes for us to enjoy, or if they are actually poor resources.

I'm thinking we should band together and start such a company, we can't do any worse than these images...

I sense a fortune to be made. if this is the industry standard it can't be that hard to beat.
Actually, stock models have ALWAYS creeped me out, games or not. Maddox did a post about it once that was pretty good:
I hope this work; I keep forgetting not everyone has FF and Linkification

Yeah, the photos of gamers would be slightly less forced & unnatural if it was actually photos of GAMERS

Ahhh, that cheered me up after a crappy day.
I thought the "stock photo" area on DA was bad.

I think my favourite is the second one with the kid holding the controller at arms length as if it either farted or touched him inappropriately

I'd say it's because of photos like that, that gamers are seen as zombies.
