Digg, circa 1995
Found via Reddit
Not only is this image fake, it appeared on reddit over 10 months ago. I only saved it in my stream because I thought it was funny. The link to the original(?) submission is directly below the image (http://reddit.com/info/2exwm/comments) - but 404s now for some reason.
I am not sure of the original source.
Evidently, someone resubmitted it to Digg (http://digg.com/design/Digg_c_1995) as well. I guess teh Internets got a lot of new users recently.

The research on the stories is a bit patchy.
Firstly, the Bill Clinton/Lewinsky story didn't break until 1998, three years after it had happened (on the Drudge report) and Quake was first released in 1996 on the PC.
