Baby Seal Clubber
This photo was published several years ago to publicize the inhumane way baby seals were being harvested for their fur. It has become a clich
é with various subjects being substituted for the seal.

Eric "Badlands" Booker - See Hamburger Eater

Bat Boy
This is the mascot of the Weekly World News, a former supermarket tabloid. WWN remains an online publication, but is no longer published in print form. Bat Boy's image appears occasionally as a FARK Photoshop clich
é.

The Beatles: See Abbey Road, Sgt. Peppers

Beer Looter
This photo of a looter carrying a crate of Heineken beer was published by the Associated Press during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It's sometimes used
when water or other liquids are involved. See also: Heineken Beer.

I Want To Believe Poster
I think this poster was on Fox Mulder's office wall in the X-Files TV show. It appears as a Photoshop clich
é whenever a disc-shaped object is in the vicinity.

Bicycle In The Moon
This scene is from from the movie E.T.: The Extraterestrial. It most often appears in Photoshop contests whenever a bicycle or the moon are part of an original.
Thanks to Procedural Texture for the suggestion.

Black Baby Head
This cute little kid has appeared in a number of Photoshop contests, I think it's the expression on his face that makes him a classic. It just screams "Whachu talkin' bout?"
Kerouac555 made himself a pariah on Fark by insisting on `shopping Black Baby Head into EVERY entry he did. It was his abuse of the image that made it (in)famous.
Thanks to Brian O'Blivion for the info.

Britney Statue - See Monument to Pro-Life

Bucket Seal
This creature is a giant seal named Minazo, who routinely delighted audiences at a Japanese aquarium. His pictures have been spotted around the Internet, including Fark Photoshop contests. He is frequently misidentified as being a walrus.
Sadly, Minazo died in 2007.

Bullet Piercing Apple
This famous high-speed photograph of a .30 bullet piercing an apple was taken by Harold Edgerton way back in the 1930's. It is employed as a clich
é whenever some sort of sphere is a major element of a Photoshop contest. It's almost obligatory for somebody to offer it up.

Bunny - See Pancake Bunny

Burger King
The silent, creepy plastic-headed hamburger king has made a few Photoshop appearances, enough to gain probationary clich
é status anyway.

Bush, George W.
As the former leader of the world's strongest superpower, President Bush's image frequently appears in Fark Photoshop contests. This particular shot is one of the more frequently used ones. The President tried to make a quick exit from a news conference in Beijing only to find himself thwarted by locked doors. Here's the BBC's story about the incident.
