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.
