Look, if a photo of Bill Clinton with a hooker surfaces it’s pretty easy to understand how such a thing would be believable, right?
Legendary Slick Willie getting with ladies other than Hillary stories have been circulating on the Internet ever since he was in office. Some people have even referred to him as the Philanderer-In-Chief.
So when a photo purporting to be him naked with a woman hit the internet on Monday, it’s not surprising that it was shared around 11,000 times with people totally believing it was real. Talk about shooting fish in a barrel.

Sadly, it is NOT.
And all it would have taken to find out that it was not real was using a little thing called “Google.”
As Inquistr reports…
However, those curious enough to right-click on the photo and search Google for copies of the image soon learned that it was actually a part of an art exhibit, as seen on the page explaining the project by Gosee News Services.
Titled “No one was asked for permission,” the art project from 2013 explored the work of Alison Jackson, an artist who recreated realistic-looking scenes with celebrities. The full photo in question shows the fake Bill getting back massage favors from an unknown buxom blonde as Hillary Clinton appears on TV.
That’s right, it was just part of an art project…
“Prince Harry full frontal, his mother Diana, Queen of Hearts, lovingly sticks up her middle finger, the Queen in her most private of moments, Camilla, Bin Laden, William and Kate … Alison Jackson really didn’t ask anyone for permission. Alison Jackson sees the ‘stars’ drop their guard – and they aren’t asked for permission beforehand either. As for example at the British Royals’ NYE celebrations, where the monarchy and celebrities work hard and play harder.
“We see Bill Clinton at dubious appointments – but always under the watchful eye of his First Lady. We accompany Lady Gaga running her daily errands, Bin Laden touching up his roots and Michael Jackson, may he rest in peace, vanishes before our very eyes. Nothing and no one is safe from Alison – just as long as he or she is famous.
See how easy it is to be fooled by fake news, Mr. Zuckerberg? And this is one I actually had hoped would be real!
