The Best of Sexual Harassment Stock Photography
Previously: Women Laughing Alone With Salad.
Abe Sauer once worked at the place depicted in the last photo.
What I appreciate most about this work is its subtlety.
The question is, was abe the flasher or the flashee?
Ugh these are the worst.
oh my god you guys
Who's being harassed in #7? Maybe both? And is it also racist?
boobs can't harass a dude just by existing, I don't think
These photos have been directly linked to the permanent elimination of sexual harassment.
The Leah-Anne Thompson watermarked one has been directly linked to the permanent elimination of my erection.
3rd to last, ain't no harassment there.
Apparently there's a Trojan Vibrating TriPhoria involved.
Or a really colossal fart.
props Corporate for the girl on girl harassment representation. And for the Asian stereotype of first re-action nervous giggles to a dropped trow man standing on a table.
But what is girl-on-girl harasser wearing, the bottom half of a wookiee costume?
girls got money to spend and lady bottoms to grope.
It took me a while to realize the boob grab guy is a doctor, he doesn't have disproportionately pasty hands (it is a latex glove), and he is not timing his boob grab with a stopwatch (it is part of the blood pressure cuff).
I don't even know what you are talking about because I physically removed the part of my brain that stored the memory of that photo.
It's far and away the worst, which meant I had to examine it.
girl in the first one – one of those facial expressions to practice and keep on file. The kind of says-it-all face useful in so many situations.
@4th from bottom: Little did he know that owing to his underdeveloped muscles, Dweeby McWormlad had vastly overestimated the restraining power of masking tape.
Haha.
But like #7 is just a pre-mammogram procedure. Is it sexual harrassment because he's an Asian doctor?
#10 from one of Terry Richardson's lesser known stints as a stock photographer.
Why is the guy in photo #2 freaked out about getting a shoulder rub from Debi Mazar? Or maybe the expression is because he forgot his camera and knows his friends will never believe this actually happened.
He's just discovered that she's a Cylon.
In which case…..she's STILL out of his league.
Farther, if anything.
What's happening in #3? The woman just looks mildly confused by the hand on her butt. Though she could also be confused by whatever she's reading on her laptop. Maybe she's working on a really difficult project and doesn't even NOTICE the hand on her butt! Also, someone should tell her not to walk around with her laptop like that. You know. Because that doesn't make sense? And because it's distracting her from some obvious butt-touching.
Also, re: #4 from the bottom: I'm not sure taping someone to a chair presumably to violate them better is in the same class of harassment as butt-touching and whipping your hair like Willow Smith… but that's just me?
That was my thought too. Perhaps Dimitri Martin laughing at his own joke is supposed to be a less threatening abductor/rapist?
And, really, what good kidnapper uses masking tape, anyway? They need to reconsider this photo.
I mostly just noticed how bad the fashion is in all of these. The one w/the feet on the guy's shoulders – THOSE SHOES!
Wait, and the girl on girl harassment pic – is she wearing a fur suit???
Sorry to interrupt here but has anyone else noticed Abe's new sexy photo?
Oh yes indeed.
Actually #1 could also be a Halloween stock photograph, you know that ol fake plastic hand over the shoulder gag.
That poor man in photo #2 is being harassed by Kelso's girlfriend Jackie from "That 70s Show"!
And she's a minor, so he'll probably get arrested afterward too!
#7 from the bottom is that deleted scene from Modern Family of one of Mitchell's awkward moments volunteering at a clinic to get Lily a place at an exclusive kindergarten.
Can you imagine being one of the models in these? Like, having to set your alarm and get up at like 8 to go in and shoot these pictures?
Having to take The Man's on-line intranet annual (anual?) sexual harassment training is just the worst. The multiple choice is really hard, especially these photo ones.
When I used to work for a large phone company, I had to take a sexual harassment prevention workshop with about 30 others.
The instructor gave an example of something that, while innocuous to you, might be offensive to someone else: calendars he'd purchased in Italy that included a photograph of the statue of David. While it didn't rise to the level of harassment, one of his colleagues was made uncomfortable by the nude statue (I know, right?).
Anyway, he closed by advising that when buying calendars for co-workers, stick with subjects that are innocuous – like flowers or trains.
I, of course, immediately raised my hand and asked, "What about a calendar with trains going into tunnels?"
"Shhhhhhh … I'm calling your vagina…." too funny. And yes, of course I have a blog that mocks stock photography on a full-time basis – http://badstockart.com – enjoy!
It appears I am guilty of 1, 4, 7, and 10. It's not wrong if it's reciprocated though, right? Right? Please?
Oh this made my ridiculously busy work day so much better. I needed a break and knew I could count on The Hairpin for succor.
yes, WHY is number 11 on the phone? maybe… he's a gynaecologist and he's phoning through her results… to… someone. also, if you stand on a desk in a board room you shouldn't be surprised that someone will look up your skirt.
A saucer? Really??
I was also super baffled by his saucer. He's just chilling? With all that porcelain?
So the takeaway here, I guess, is do not stand on tables at work? Noted.

You guys know HuffPo ripped this off a couple days ago, more or less? I remembered and had to Google to find this, ha ha, those goons can't even come up with their own content anymore.
I would love to see if any of these were actually used. Client: We need a good sexual harassment image! Web Company: We've got the perfect collection of images… Client: You're fired.
