What The World Thinks Of Ireland According To Stock Photos

Ireland is a majestic place, full of wonder and a rich history. But according to stock photographers, Ireland is also rife with stereotypes and everything is green. Everything and everyone.

Let's take a look today at some of the greatest stock photos of what the world thinks Irish people are like and try to decode these amusing images.

We love our mash, which apparently also looks like a big egg yolk in a bowl of cream cheese.

We love jugs. And beer. Which may be true but I'm pretty sure this is a German outfit, not an Irish one. Nice try, internet.

If the below photo is anything to go off, we also like doing yoga on top of cliffs. It's not only safe as hell but also deeply peaceful. And not at all cold, obviously.

I'd be covering my face in shame too if I'd been paid to pose in a green hat and a cheap looking necklace.

Being Irish is very exciting. We also can jump extremely high, amongst a background of animated clovers.

The world thinks we love four-leaf clovers so much that we'll present them to a camera lens even if they aren't completely green. Crap.

This photo simultaneously says "I'm a confused wizard" and "Help me, please God help me"

The Irish will be anything to be photographed in their national costume, an O2 shirt, a novelty hat and an authentic red beard.

The look in the redhead girl's eyes says "Kill me"

Speaking of redheads. That's all that we have in Ireland. Every single person, a full on redhead.

I told you we were excited about clovers!
