It's too bad it's not distributed as a PNG, which would probably be smaller and would totally get rid of the JPEG artifacts. Thankfully, since it's a grayscale JPEG and is super high res with a reasonable quality setting (82) the artifacts are minimal and not really a problem for our use case.
(oh, and in case anyone's wondering, changing .jpg to .png does technically get you a PNG, but it's just a PNG transcoded from the JPEG so there's no benefit)
If anyone's making sicko emotes, use this high-quality version of the image direct from The Onion:
