Stephen Colbert kicked off his show last night by showing anti-immigration campaign ads from Senate candidates Sharron Angle (R-NV) and Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), that use the same stock photos.
“This is the most terrifying scenario of all: There aren’t enough stock photos of scary minorities out there to represent all the scary minorities we know have got to be out there,” Colbert said.

Colbert also showcased his new “fear-based photo licensing service,” dubbed fearstock.com, which offers one picture of Colbert in a vaguely threatening pose.
