Such mistakes in stock photographs are frequent and they are often mocked on the Internet. This last happened to a photograph that the users found on Shutterstock: the photograph called Beautiful woman Repair Soldering a Printed Circuit Board depicts a woman holding a heated metal element on the soldering iron, which can be as hot as several hundred degrees.
