We tracked down the phony stock images of families that they used in their video, and we think you deserve to see the proof. Check them out:

2. Loving and Playful Family
3. Happy Bride and Groom Smiling Together
4. Happy, Smiling Family
5. A house, also found on a securities website
6. And last but not least, this couple, who are also prominently featured on a website for a hospital in India!
