Please stop sharing that photo of Franken grimacing while Biden stands behind him, nuzzling his ear.

It's in a group of photos that show Biden hugging other men. It started on places like Reddit, but it's being passed around DU by some people who haven't noticed that it's photoshopped, or that it came from sites like Reddit.

I won't do it the honor of posting it here, but many of you have already seen it. Here are the two original photos from which they photoshopped the fake one of Biden with Franken.

First, the original photo of Al Franken. Notice what's missing? Joe Biden.

And here is the original of Joe Biden -- with Stephanie Carter.

Very important that people don't think that Biden also gets up close with men. And we needed yet another post on this subject.
