THE INTERNET — The same stock photo of a female officer was used for another article about women in the military, internet sources report. The sources also allege that the woman in the photo “is kind of hot.”
The photo, a female lieutenant (junior grade) unfortunate enough to be photographed making a crisp salute, has been in almost constant use since it was taken in 2008. Plastering her photo on articles about sexual assault, the difficulties of gender integration, and how the Navy sucks has reportedly done the officer wonders throughout her career.
“Some articles with this picture have gone viral,” the latest writer to use the picture said. “We hope to piggyback on their success instead of writing something insightful that people will want to read.”
