Santa with handguns? Yep. It’s Awkward Stock Photos

One way to capture that awkward feeling over the holidays is to let Crazy Aunt Irma have a little too much to drink. For another equally uncomfortable holiday experience, try stock art.

Stock art photos are formulaic attempts by photographers to illustrate a variety of occasions. However, sometimes there’s a disconnect. Instead of anything usable, we end up with a photo of Santa with a handguns.

Here’s the Daily Dot’s favorite stock art of the season. Thanks to Mark Hague, the editor of Awkward Stock Photos, for this kooky selection.
