Anyone here recognize his/hers images?

I bet every portfolio on microstock has at least one image that could be commented in a funny and weird way.
I am surprised he doesn't have links to the stock sites and the original image. What if I want to purchase the image?

Yes, sadly I have one on there - and he's right. It was stupid! lol But it sold a few times so hey, no worries.
I wonder technically if he is allowed to use these watermarked images in this way? I wouldn't consider this as "promotional" to the sites nor photographers.
Wonder how long the posting will last this time. I think they had a C&D order from Getty awhile back, Too lazy to look back in the blog.

No technically you are NOT allowed to post any images on your website that you have not purchased. Since there is a watermark, then they were not purchased and they could be served with a copyright infringement notice.

What this site is doing looks like 'fair use' to me. Reviewers and parodists have pretty broad rights, especially if they are not using an image for profit.
Can you please point me to the verbage in the, say, IS terms of use where it is acceptable to take a watermarked image and use it on your website? I have gone over the terms and conditions of the sites I upload to and do not EVER remember seeing anything about anybody using images for free on their website. If this is something new, I have missed it.
BTW, also saw the one of Kelly Cline giving the finger. One of my favorite Christmas images, LOL!
Did anyone catch the clown lifting the imaginary barbell on P. 10, and the remarks about that? Priceless!
Well, parody issue aside, this is one of the funniest websites I have seen. This guy's commentary is absolutely hilarious! Hubby and I have wasted a long time browsing and laughing our heads off!!Did anyone catch the clown lifting the imaginary barbell on P. 10, and the remarks about that? Priceless!
Badstockart has to buy images for the blog from now on. This is what they posted last."Well kids, we finally received our first scary legal email from one of our favorite places to find the best stock photography garbage. We had to remove many of our classic favorites. Its sad, we know. Well have to start licensing all of our junk from now on, like this junk here."
Somebody didn't like having their picture on there...

Thanks for posting this site Ivan. Great laugh! And yeah, that picture of my husband eating ice cream is really creepy. He had me in stitches when we were doing that shoot! BTW, also saw the one of Kelly Cline giving the finger. One of my favorite Christmas images, LOL!
