Stock image nightmares

Here are 60 interesting stock images you should probably never use.

These are better. Well, except the businessman with the balloons. In a field.

You think those are interesting. Look at these stock images from the 90s. My eyes!

    The irony about that website using them shows you should never say never.

    I think I have seen websites using all of the 13 stock photos in the HubSpot article except possibly the ones with the man and the briefcase. So not only would you be picking a badly thought-through image, but you'd have one that many other sites are using.

      Thanks for the laughs, I had to check them all out. Some of them you just can't even begin to figure out why anyone would use them (not to mention the name "getty" on a few pics.) Some of them downright creepy or disturbing. Now I need some eye bleach.
