An image posted on a social networking site that gets shared and reposted by many people.
Viral images are many times paired with a falsely attributed quote, or with a story that falls into urban legend status and is completely untrue; or at the very least, retold with a total lack of supporting facts or legitimate references.
Despite this lack of proof and facts, people repost the image over and over and many take it at face value and believe it to be the honest truth, never bothering to do a 30 second internet search that would reveal its message to be completely untrue.
Viral images are often used as propaganda with a clear bias towards once side of a cause or viewpoint (mostly political in nature).
Still, some are just a funny picture with a silly caption.

Get the Vitale mug.an excessive act of debauchery with no regard to later repercussions, that takes place in a public setting between a person known to be susceptible to errors of judgement when intoxicated and another whose identity causes in some major aspect such a flippant display to be seen by the rest of the associated group as inherently and severely amusing, and has strong pertinence with regard to one's future perception and reputation regarding promiscuity, self conduct and ability to select appropriate others in future with which to undertake possible further acts of such debauchery.
