How Many Of These Worldwide Renowned Photographs Did You Know Were Actually Fake ?


Photographs go viral every day. Thanks to social media, photos can be easily shared with thousands of people, even if they're first posted by people with an otherwise unimpressive social media presence. Just one photo can get them all the clicks and recognition needed to officially go viral!

As Abraham Lincoln famously said "don't believe everything you see on the Internet.
