Picture Not Available

Apparently Ancestry.com's standard pink and blue silhouettes are not good enough for this person's ancestors. Wouldn't seeing a pink or blue silhouette be a clear enough indication for most people that the profile doesn't have a photo?
There are over 2100 photos in this tree and it looks like about half of them are one of the three images below. The name on each image is different but there is no other information specific to the profile person to warrant a separate upload.

Baby Angel, Male, and Female versions of "Picture Not Available"


Thanks to Janet for the link to this media gallery ;-)
If you have a photo to suggest please send a link to buwtree(at)gmail(dot)com.
