Thanks for a good laugh in the morning. I showed to the head of our Graphics Department and he noticed it almost immediately :) I also used Getty images but mine are 'royalty-free' and also free of charge in the size I downloaded them. They're on the websitelink with this comment. If you know where to go, there's a lot more good stock photo sites out there that are free. Hey! Thanks for a good laugh in the morning.

I have used the preview images from gettyimages for demos to clients. When the project is a go I purchase - great system really. However, it can be abused. On the reverse I actually had a client that liked the look I created for them (with images from gettyimages), until I told them that the images would be part of the cost - personal relationship with the client so it was less formal. He then decided that it would be better to take some of their own pictures and asked me to use those instead. It didn't take much to convince them that the couple a hundred dollars was well worth a professional looking web site. Yep, pretty sad.
