60 Completely Unusable Stock Photos

As if you didn’t know: stock photography is absolutely infamous for being the most facile and obvious photos to communicate moods, ideas, and images.

So how this charming collection of what-in-the-hell ever made it to stock libraries is truly beyond me, but thank you Buzzfeed for putting it together.

Some of my favorites from the collection:

I really don’t know how this can be topped. First off: kid lip synching contest in Philippines. Secondly: the song – sheer ironic joy. Thirdly: oh my god the performance. You never ever saw this coming.

Without the rules, a crack house will just fall apart.

My personal favorite: #5 – Don’t repeat yourself. Must have been a big problem.

How can it have taken this long for this blog to be born? Or at least come to my attention.

No Room Service, Just Snacks and Shit is a treasury of modern day poetry disguised as rap lyrics. Followed by critical literary analysis. Simply sublime.

So….this guy was thinking, “I’m a psychic and I’m going to be interviewed on TV…what will make them take me seriously?”

Virtual Bank Embezzlement

admin — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 09:11:39 +0000

The chairman of the virtual bank in EVE Online, a space-trading/piracy game, absconded with billions of virtual credits, swapping them for $5,000 in cash to make a house payment. The embezzlement caused a run on the bank and has rocked the economy of EVE.

The run on the bank has come to about 600 billion ISK, which has been withdrawn. However, we have a very big group of excellent supporters, who have deposited about 105 billion ISK sitting in Sweep to keep us liquid. We are extremely grateful for this. Currently the run seems to be mostly over with only a slightly higher withdrawal rate still, than deposit rate. That’s to be expected, and in-line with EBANK’s strategy to shrink to a more managable level.

EBANK has always been extremely sound, due to our massive reserves. Our checks and balances have proven themselves to work as a mitigation device and by having the reserves spread out over several directors, the embezzlement was kept to a minimum. However, the run on the bank had the potential to do great damage to EBANK as people frantically made withdrawals to ensure they would not be caught if the bank ran short.

We have also had several offers from very large entities, regarding big loans, should we need to cover any insolvency. Frankly, this has yet to be needed. But we are grateful for the support.

Friends and I were talking about how the stock market and the entire financial system is just concept and psychology. I guess this is just about as real.
