Occasionally, against all odds, you'll see an interesting or even enjoyable picture on the Internet. But is it worth sharing, or just another Photoshop job that belongs in the digital trash heap? Check in here and find out if that viral photo deserves an enthusiastic "forward" or a pitiless "delete."

Okay, so this image is fake in that U.S. Ambassador to Finland Bruce Oreck doesn't actually have full tattoo sleeves featuring Finnish comic icon Moomin (they're the work of body painter Riina Laine), but real in that dude uploaded this bonkers Christmas card to Facebook yesterday.

The former body builder, Mr. Clean doppelganger and son of vacuum tycoon David Oreck has a history of releasing "controversial" holiday cards, including these demented works of art from 2012 and 2013:

Some (dopes) have criticized the images for "embarrassing the United States," but if there's a truer representation of American power than a hugely buff guy in a suit posing for homoerotic photos, I haven't seen it.

Did Barack Obama, the tragically normcore President of the United States, wear an "I Can't Breathe" shirt to this week's swearing-in ceremonies for the House and Senate? Nope, but around 60,000 Facebook users seem to think he did thanks to this fake news story from satire site The Daily Currant and the manipulated photo that ran with it.

As his schedule shows, Obama was too busy doing real-life POTUS stuff like meeting with the President of Mexico to pose for blatantly fake-looking photos.

Similarly, this viral, racially-charged photo is also a fake, also originating from a quasi-satire site, in this case "daily satirical news source" Naha Daily.

On Sunday, the site ran a story titled "Fox News Airs Stuart Scott R.I.P. Tribute with Picture of Stephen A. Smith," the hi-larious premise being that both men are black sportscasters and Fox has a history of fucking things like this up.

Unfortunately, thousands failed to see the non-existent joke and shared the article as legitimate. Fox's actual graphic following Scott's death was, as one might expect, a bit more professional than the MS Paint-quality mockup seen above:

In the wake of Wednesday's deadly shooting at the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, many saw cartoons as an especially fitting tribute to the satirists who lost their lives and soon media outlets were compiling reactions from around the world.

But in the rush to collect them all, some bullshit was tracked inside, including the attribution of the above image to Banksy. Actually drawn by London illustrator Lucille Clerc, reporters apparently fell for various Banksy "parody" accounts on Instagram and Twitter that shared the comic.

On Thursday, a spokesperson for the artist told The Independent, "We can confirm this is not by Banksy."

Although it may look like misleading internet glurge, this improbably cute-sad picture of an injured koala is absolutely real, released Thursday by Australian Marine Wildlife Research & Rescue Organisation.

One of many animals hurt in the recent Sampson Flat bushfire, the koala called Jeremy is shown here "receiving much needed treatment on all four burnt paws."

Some versions of the image are accompanied by pleas from the International Fund for Animal Welfare for tiny mittens to protect burnt koala paws, but on Friday afternoon the IFAW announced it had all the "high-koality home-sewn mittens" it needed in a pun-filled Facebook post.
