Very fun, some clearly copied ideas, some great real-life coincidences, but what about these?

That's a fun site. Thanks for sharing, madelaide! Kind of funny seeing different businesses using the images from the same batch.

madelaide... figure it has to happen. Afterall,  who is and how is the same picture you sell hundreds/thousands of times being used? It's gotta happen like above...
  What I find interesting/hilarious is how the girl is just a girl in the Check & Go, but in the other she is  'the realBriana, a membership consultant.. LOL LOL
   Things are never what they seem or are said to be... When I first got into magazines, I was shooting for an article about a specific area of Pennsylvania, Bucks County. The editor told me, the pic doesn't necessarily have to be Bucks, it just has to 'look like Bucks'.  When I asked, what if someone calls you out on one and it's not Bucks.  He says, the standard reply is, the photographer didn't provide specific details.. LOL LOL   8)=tom

Tom,

In the site there are discussions about this photo and there were comments about this Briana as a consultant.  People believe that there is this Briana on the site, although this is probably a fake name for a group of people replying as this "consultant".
