In the discussion on the above website it is up in the air whether or not this is photoshopped.

[Troodon]

My bet would be photoshopped, since letters on a flat, white surface facing the camera would be easy to do and "man-on-horse: no" pushes it over the top into parody.

[Beachlife!]

Yeah, bad photoshop job. Blow it up a little and the pixilation is obvious.

[htonl]

It is definitely photoshopped; the original is at http://scienceblogs.com/retrospectac...nce%20fair.jpg.

[Tootsie Plunkette]

That's a shame. If they were going to tinker with that photo, they could have blurred the little girl's face, and deleted her name from the image.

The "Man on Horse" sex type was as good a giveaway as pixelation.

[JoeBentley]

Photoshopped "Science Fair Project" pictures are something of a running gag. I've seen much worse one then that.

Heh, my first clue that this was shopped was the writing on the side of the board that mentions hypothesis, materials, procedure, et cetera.

I mean, how on earth is a little girl supposed to test this kind of hypothesis? Get a bunch of her friends to engage in unprotected sex and keep track of who contracts HIV?

But yeah. Obvious shop job, even without the source being identified.

[LizzyBean]

I'm glad it's actually a fake, but I feel sorry for the little girl. That's going to get passed all over the web, and somone who knows her will see it. Maybe not knows her well, but still.

How embarassing.

THat was an entry in a photoshop thread on the SomethingAwful forums. Cant find the thread right now, but the idea was to photoshop science fair projects. That was one of the more popular ones.

Yeah, there it is, thanks. Its on page 7 if any ones interested.

Dang the original image is blocked at work for being "tasteless". Grrrr.

[candy from strangers]

When I compare the original with the shopped version I can't help but think "If I could also replace cheese with woman on woman sex my diet would be going so much better"

That is what I do not like in these photoshop images.

I also had some of my pics modified in photoshop and I would definitely dislike to see those pics circulating around the web.

I don't have a photo, so I'll have to ask you to take my word -- but at the San Diego junior high school science fair, the first week of April, in Balboa Park in San Diego, one of the science fair exhibits was on the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide! One of the kids had snuck that hoary old hoax past the administrators and into the show! (I saw no indication that it was an open or admitted hoax.)

It was the only hoax I spotted, although I did see some interesting projects that were clearly well beyond the students' capabilities. One purported to show Stephen Hawking was wrong about black holes -- using only a junior high school level of mathematics! Fascinating, but so very wrong!
