Woops...

This morning I was working on a project and needed an image to spice things up a bit. Clipart tends to suck my left one (and not in a good way), so I typically find myself going to Getty Images to illegally download something and use it for work purposes.

Much to my surprised ACCESS DENIED appeared on my screen along with a little message about how the website violated our internet standards. Awesome, red flag has been sent to IT. Why on earth would work put up a firewall against Getty Images? Could it because there are nudie pictures on there? Perhaps that’s what they classify as “inappropriate content.” Crap.

Then I checked the web address again. Um, my bad. Apparently www.gettyinmates.com is NOT okay here, but www.gettyimages.com is okay.

Now I’m dying to find out what the hell kind of stuff they have at that first web address…
