I wrote "the article", you were going by what JF wrote, and that I
quoted; you didn't bother reading the article.

If they didn't have a photo of the current model, they're idiots. 
Furthermore, they apparently found out that they didn't have the
current model because they changed the photo to the current model, and
even made sure in the caption to say that it's the current model.

It's not that they used a stock photo; it's that they used an incorrect
stock photo.  Even you should be able to understand that distinction.

Yet they took the time to change the photo to the correct model, and to
edit the caption to make sure they said it's the current model.
