Title: A new use for stock: astroturfing

Just watching tonight's Rachel Maddow Show, and was fascinated to learn that a clean coal grassroots organization is drawing its grassroots membership from the iStockphoto collection.  Yep, it's twoo: all their members are stock images!

Apologies for anyone who finds this too political, but it does raise interesting questions of appropriate use.
