So? They're Crappy and will end up being Replaced. Or the watermark removed.
I'm currently working out a useful way to reliably get entertainment
industry promo photos Free, as in what would make them flock to us. A
few really crappy examples would be a start.
(e.g. "You don't get to have a good photo under your control. You get
a crappy photo that's under a suitable license, or you give us a good
photo under a suitable license. The latter is probably a lot more to
your liking and that of your artists.")
The hardest part is working out where to put it that it would actually
get read by the target audience. Ideas?

If you're looking for example of crappy images of people, try Belinda
Stronach, the only image we have of her alone is
which is so horrible, it was removed from the wikipedia page (I think)
