Man threatens legal action over use of stock photo of him in an article claiming all hipsters look alike

It was from another agency, mind you.  But the punchline is that the photo was not of him after all.  Just another, very similar hipster.

Unfortunately Petapixel's caption- "man pissed over photograph of himself"- means something quite different in the UK.

 

I learned that a few decades back while working here in the states with a product manager from Aberdeen. One could say an angry drunk got pissed because he got pissed.
