As you know, I spoke at Cannes last month with the wonderful Martin Weigel.
While the talk seemed to have gone down very well, the best news was when an old colleague of mine [hello Maria] pointed me towards this …
Yes … that’s a picture of me and Martin ON GETTY IMAGES!!!
Better yet, there’s more than one of these online … there’s a whole range of them, all taken from our WARC presentation at Cannes.
Now as fun as appearing on getty images is – even if they called me the head of stratefy, rather than strategy – that’s not why I’m so happy.
As some of you know, there is a guy who appears in a whole host of stock photos who looks rather like me.
This is him …
If you still question whether we look alike, have a look at this …
See …
In other words, this guy is literally profiting off my – errrrm – looks.
Well, now I am appearing on Getty myself, I get to fight back.
Well I say that, but the idiot who thought it was a good idea to put me on Getty has shown just how mad they are by having the audacity to try and charge €475 for the pic.
EACH PIC!
Hahahahahahahahaha.
Even my Mum wouldn’t pay more than a fiver – and that would be for both and she would still expect change – so while I’m pleased I’m finally giving my doppelganger a taste of his own medicine, it’s disappointing to know even the most insane billionaire in all of billionaireverseville would never buy these so I’m not robbing him off anything.
Damnit.
