Overrun with strange visitors!

[Photo Plod]

Oh dear. I uploaded a load of football photos to my Flickr stream yesterday, and received a big spike in visitors, as is usually the case when anything new goes on. However, I also noticed that I received dozens of Favourites, across loads of my football images.

Wondering who I'd been noticed by, I took a look at a couple of peoples' Photo Streams and their own "Favourite" images. Had I been visited by football fans? Sports photographers?

No.

I've been invaded by sock fetishists. Seriously.

Has anybody else had their images used for unintended (comedy) purposes?

I had a photo of three girls walking down the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, promoting their show last year. Not the best of photos, I think, but someone added it as a favourite. Intrigued, I looked at them and saw that there was nothing unusual about their photostream. Then I saw their favourites: hundreds of photos of girls with bald heads. One of the girls in the photo was bald, hence the interest.

I posted a very similar thread a few months back.
