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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Belinda_Stronach_at_Leadership_convention... which is so horrible, it was removed from the wikipedia page (I think)
