For some of those folks, their heads are quite disproportionate to their torsos. :o It looks like those pics were made using drag and drop images.

It seems like the trend has been lessening, but for a while those "big-headed stock photo people" were all the rage in advertising - especially for tech and Internet companies. Book covers, too. Used to give me the creeps walking down that isle at Barnes & Noble, with all those massively-melon-topped book cover models staring out at me. Or maybe they're just really, really short people? They're often looking up at you - perhaps it's just the perspective you get when someone is 2 feet in height? - Jeff @ DreamHost What’s the deal with those big head pictures, anyhow?

In the BofA instance, she's an employee, a creepy bigheaded cutout employee. So she works for BofA but she banks with First Republic. Kind of worse.
