Oh dear…
HOLY – - ! This has to be a contender for WTF Of The Year, right? That little girl is just representing what is obviously a project deviously cobbled together by her parents. Someone should call child services, man.
Man on Man … Yes (ok, i get it)
Man on woman … no (orly? not so sure about that)
Man on horse … no .. o_O …wut?
Source discovered! Picture officially ’shopped.
http://scienceblogs.com/retrospectacle/2007/03/science_finally_discovers_my_3_1.php
this came directly from somethingawful.com ’s ‘photoshop phridays’ where they have their members photoshop pictures on a random theme. there was a whole series of science fair themed photoshops a few weeks ago.
maybe credit where credit is due?
http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/science-fair.php
I’d like to see her materials list.
2 men
2 women
1 horse
1 pocket fox
WTF school is this?! And who did she get to try out the man on horse scenario for her findings? I wish I could read the board better, I’d really like to know exactly what her “materials” were!!! Definitely WTF of the year!
Forget child services. Someone call the district superintendent. This project got a medal! O_O
This is just too F’d up. There’s no coherent theme congealing in my brain’s snark center. I was going to riff on the permutations missing from the last two *ahem* romantic entanglements, but now I can’t get the coinage “NAMELA” (North American Man-Equestrian Love Association”) out of my head…
Not to start a political debate, but I don’t think that any American *public* school would award a medal for a project like this. And if one did, this blog certainly wouldn’t be the first place you’d hear about it.
It definitely looks like she got a medal for that
Sorry to be a killjoy… Original photo here: http://scienceblogs.com/retrospectacle/2007/03/science_finally_discovers_my_3_1.php
Well, some states do teach creationism as a theory that is as valid as darwinism, don’t they? This wouldn’t surprise me as much…
HAuaahahuaha
And look at the kid’s face! It looks like (he? she? it?) could join an anti-gay KKK at any moment now…
Materials? Procedure? I’m not sure how such a hypothesis could be proven by this child using the scientific method…
Anyone have any idea what it says on her shirt? I’m sure it is just as incongruous as the rest of this picture. I also wish we could see what is on the wall behind her.
She gets bonus points for coloring the letters for “Yes” and “No”. She looks thrilled that she won a medal too!
I think someone should take a long good look at the picture. She has on a shirt that has the name of the school. LOVE to see where she got all that info from. Bet ya 50 bucks its from her church. LOL
The American media is too crappy most of the time to report on this kind of thing, though. I’m just hoping that, no matter where this was set, there is a very good reason why this project placed at all. Like the child attending a very small school and not having much competition (PLEASE tell me this is at the local level!), or the school awarding medals to all children who entered so that they’ll feel all good and warm and fuzzy about themselves.
Maybe my comment’s not showing up cuz it has a link, but the source of this pic has been found and this version was definitely ’shopped.
Is this not a Chris Morris spoof?
Calm down. This is fake, but hilarious: http://yepyep.gibbs12.com/2008/08/inappropriate-science-fair-projects/
The more I look at this, I’m beginning to wonder what the conclusions of this hypothesis are? I mean… According to the display, it says that man-on-woman and man-on-horse(?) = “No”.
So the conclusion is that heterosexual and beastiality sex is OK?
99% certain this is a photoshop, zoom in and you can see the artifacts that surround the words.
YES! I found the real one. Unless THIS is the real one and the one on starch is the ’shopped one… ;D
@peedee
Never heard of JPG compression, have you.
That’s not a medal. I know her parents.
That’s the proverbial “sign”… the one that screams “I’m a fucking religious retard” in other, less shocking, words.
link to original please? or atleast tag words to enter into google????
That link was sooo funny!
My faves were “Can She Taste the Roofies?”, and the churchy-looking kid on “Are There Minorities in Heaven?” He had James Brown’s crazy-haired mug shot!!! XD LOL!
The original image can be found here: scienceblogs.com/retrospectacle/upload/2007/03/science%20fair.jpg
It’s pretty amazing to see people insulting this girl AFTER others clearly pointed it was a photoshopped image. The “WTF” here is all in the stupid comments.
@CC
Seriously, some people are beyond retarded.
@tuna
Nice work finding that!
So then, anyone thing this is photoshopped?
Or “think” even.
READ THE OTHER COMMENTS PEOPLE! It has been posted like 6 times now that it was photoshopped with the direct links to where it’s from. Seriously dude!
i’m so down with teaching children intolerance of homosexuality so take that and shove it up your ass!
@Jenny
So then, anyone recognize sarcasm when they read it?
oh photoshop…
Too bad its photoshopped, I was gonna guess that it was a Catholic school science fair!
I am so relieved to see that this isn’t real. I almost freaked out, but now I can continue living my happy little life. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if some kid did do a project like this somewhere…..
Though most of the others on that site are likely altered. This one and a few others on there could just have easily been actual unaltered photo’s from the creation science fair. They don’t care if there science is sound there, they don’t even care if you have any facts. Only that you spout out the right kind of ignorance and hate.
i think i just weed myself a little bit…
I’m afraid of Americans.
The kid needs to have an -”Man On Alien”- category for the followers of Scientology.
@CC
But it is on the internet, so it has to be true!
Isnt that the lead signer from Hanson, and isn’t the fact that he is so Anti-gay kind of hypocritical.
OMG I just opened the page and have already started with WTF’s haha omg!
Looks like an endorsement of bestiality to me!
Psst… by the way I think it’s a dude.
It’s called Photoshop. You can manipulate images with it. Get it?
What makes you so sure this is a girl, eh?
It says “by: Emily…” on the top, so I’m pretty sure it’s a girl.
I wasn’t too shocked given I live in a conservative state surrounded by raging bigot….then I got to the “man on horse” part. Wow. No words.
Dude. This alarmed me greatly until I read that it was faked. Jeebus, can you imagine? *shudders*
Wow….I can’t believe any of these comments. I’m guessing that we all voted for Obama because we obviously don’t know how AIDS is spread. It is spread most easily by blood contact. The highest chance of getting AIDS is through male homosexual activity(open wounds are created more frequently as the anus is rather tender). What was photoshopped in is wrong because woman on woman would have a lesser chance and man on horse would have a lesser chance. (horses don’t usually have AIDS) Man on woman has a lesser chance. But looking past any statistical probabilities we all pounce on attacking a child because she doesn’t think the same way we do and hold our same ideologies. Even though the whole thing is a fake. Come on people! I feel sorry for that girl who had her picture drug through the mud with this trash. I still love Obama though…he is spending all my tax money on some very useful things, like gm car warranties and research on blueberry farms in Georgia! If only we could do some more AIDS research to prove that only homosexuals are free from AIDS and heterosexuals are the REAL culprits of spreading AIDS, then we could find a cure!
Man on Horse….What the!!!!!!!!!
what kinda school gives this kid a medal?
@I love Obama
Its through any type of bodily fluid not just blood
@ Demi…notice I said “most easily by blood contact” open wounds is how it is spread most easily. if you pee on the toilet seat, and I sit on it the chances that I would get aids from you are slim to none if I have no open wounds on my butt cheeks…even if I had open wounds for that matter.
Clearly, this student learned about man/horse copulation safety from Mr Hands.
Then Emily’s mighty butch!
Faked picture. Poor kid. This one needs to be removed.
I bet you ten bucks she learned that Man/Horse thing from Mr. Ed.
i think the biggest issue here is whether that kid is a boy or a girl… my vote says girl.
That’s probably just a participation metal.
phew at least im safe with my pony
I think thats a boy….still boy or girl…..WTF
OK…I Wanna Know WTF These Parents Were Thinking When They Taught Theyre Child And WHY THE F*** The SCHOOL Let This Be Presented To Begin With There Is No MFing Way Those Statistics Are Accurate! And Plenty Of Straight People Have Aids!…….And WTF Is With The Horse/Man Combo…? Clearly Child Services Should Look Into That Family…And That Family Into The Nearest Psych Ward…
@Zippy the Pinhead’s neighbor
BURN THE WITCH BURN THE WITCH BURN THE WITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anybody just here for a good time? geez!
don’t you think that looks like the kid who had his birthday cake maker refuse to write his name on the cake because his name was “adolf hitler soandso”?
(his sister’s name was aryan nation soandso, too)
I think he’s wrong about the horse. I need to see his data.
HALLELUJAH!!!! As a lesbian, I am tired of having homophobic individuals not only insult me, but act as though I am predisposed to such a sexually transmitted disease. More damage comes from a straight couple not using a condom than from a lesbian couple doing the deed!
Political incorrectness WIN!
loser
Ummmmm….. For the last time, ITS NOT REAL, moron.
OH WTF I GOT AIDS FROM A HORSE THIS KID IS BS
Must be from a Christian school.
@tuna
Thank you tuna, for restoring my faith in humanity. Kudos.
Helluva PS job, though…..
@I love Obama
Lost your job, eh?
Good.
@Downward Spiral
SPiral, you do realize that “I Love Obama” IS a homophobe, right? Read his comments again.
So, what convinced you?
The parents must have done this and actually this is very offensive as I am bi and is definately from one of those ridiculous christian schools. Furthermore this proves why religion with scripture is rubbish and causes a lot of problems because of people reading too literally into the text, hence why I am Pagan.
Crazy children
@Death
Pagans are 75% more likely to acquire HIV/AIDS than any other religion, regardless of sexual orientation.
Lovely effort, but I found a flaw in her logic.
She doesn’t mention anything about black people or Africa.
So Man-on-Horse is okay, but Man-on-Man isn’t?
I’m thinking this photo was edited.
….At least I hope so…the band she has around her neck is the same color as the ribbon they gave me when I made it to the Connecticut state invention convention as a kid….
pictureisunrealted.com should NOT put up photoshopped pictures.
This is from one of Somethingawful.com’s Photoshop Phriday segments. Its a JOKE.
http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/science-fair.php?page=7
And this is the original unshopped picture
http://scienceblogs.com/retrospectacle/2007/03/science_finally_discovers_my_3_1.php
Thousands of people have already pointed this out in the comments.
@I love Obama
Its got sod all to do with a persons sexuality, AIDS is transmitted by PEOPLE having sex regardless of preferences, gender, age or culture. As to your comments regarding Obama, perhaps you feel Bush did a better job? He was barely literate let alone sentient. If you think its wrong to try and save peoples jobs, form new industries and bring some justice back to the people who have been socially missused by the Bush administration, then you must be a very sad individual indeed.
The middle part looks like it could be editied.
this is… i dont even know its to good to describe
Man-on-horse. Aids? No. “It’s safe! Go ahead!”
I realy hope this kid doesn’t live in a farm.
aren’t you people READING these comments before posting?
the picture is FAKE. the picture has been PHOTOSHOPPED. STOP commenting about AIDS and how terrible this child is, how his/her parents should be jailed, and what her school must be like.
THIS PHOTO IS NOT REAL. THIS IS *NOT* A WTF picture. I wish they’d take it down for the morons who cannot READ.
so these ‘bands’ are only given out at science fairs/conventions? You must live in a little world. They are EVERYwhere. My daughter has about 20 – from Little Athletics Australia!! And Yes! the people who post without reading comments are just dumbasses from dumbassville, dumbass county.
@Demi
Non-Infectious “Bodily Fluids”
Saliva
Tears
Sweat
Feces
Urine
These fluids and substances cannot transmit HIV. Sweat contains no HIV.
The other fluids do not contain enough HIV to infect another person. This is regardless of how they get into the bloodstream. No cases of HIV transmission have ever been documented as a result of these substances. Not all bodily fluids transmit HIV or AIDS
@debus
DUDE! Where have you been! Someone left the idiot-magnet switched on again!
this kid’s parents should be shot, and his school should be closed down.
So, he (she?) is advocating man on horse sex?
@Death
WTF. Here’s an idea. Lets blame some general group of people (who in my experience are nice enough) for some wacked out shit. Go learn some tolerance, bigot.
@Chris
read up a few comments; this is a photoshop… the real project was something to do with the effect of certain foods/drinks on tooth enamel… thank goodness, right?
If ignorance is bliss why does this little redneck look so unhappy?
i WISH this was real so i would have a GREAT EXCUSE to act all INDIGNENT and prove my SUPERIORITY over BIGOTS and REDNECKS.
even though it’s photoshopped i’m sure theres an exact REAL COPY of this project that was AWARDED FIRST PLACE by they a**hole PRINCIPAL.
I just love getting all FIRED UP over something i saw on the INTERNET.
All you morons still posting after it has been proved to be a fake. Why does this site keep fake pictures up?
Isn’t it funny how ppl post “I think its fake” or “OMG WHAT IS THE SCHOOL TEACHING” within a 10-post distance of another post that proves that its fake?
As much as i love this new site, the pictureisunrelated mods should be a little bit more aware of the pics they put up. Photoshopped pictures shouldn’t not count as a pictureisunrealed.com-worthy WTF.
@Anon
Shouldn’t not count???
I fail.
What I meant was Should Not count.
AIDS contains starch
My FIRST thought was Catholic school; yes, I’m Catholic. Second thought was, fake…..
I can’t believe how many people are still commenting how effed up the photo is without reading the comments first that debunk it. Still it’s hilarious.
@dood
It was too… good? to be true
And that’s a fact…how? Just like that crazy woman down south who says that “fags eat poop” is a fact? Where’s the scientific evidence that states, “THIS religion is more susceptible to AIDs than this other religion!” Seriously…Please, tell me EXACTLY how Pagans would get it more than any other religion, when Catholics aren’t even allowed to wear condoms. And yes, I, too, am a Pagan, and have yet to meet a single other Pagan who has AIDs or who even knows another Pagan with AIDs or HIV.
I’m somehow sad that this picture is fake. I was hoping this to be somehow true. I’m so conflicted.
Everyone getting all pissy about people “not being able to read” all the comments that link to the original, comments with links have to be approved before they’re posted to the website. The first couple of people could not see the comments with links when they first saw this pic.
The ones commenting later, however, have no excuse…
“Uhh… Kid, I think you got a few things mixed up…” LOLZ!
ha ha ha @Felipe
@Bruno
No public school teaches creationism because it’s against the law to.
@dood
Thanks, I was a bit afraid for a moment. Nice work by the artist anyway
@I love Obama
That kid’s a dude, dude.
This is photoshoped
i has a fashizm!!!1!
OMFG, That Kid Is Genius! Stop the plague at its source! Genocide is the only way.
I think AIDS was originally a gay disease, but still 0.o
God is crying.
Oh thank god this is a photoshop! If it wan’t though, I would agree with Jill.
@Rotgut
girl, eh? you sure about that?
Man on horse… lol she even won a prize for it
Great work! The crazy guys at somethingawful did it again
Cool, so homosexual anal sex gives you bad aids, but heterosexual anal sex gives you good aids?
Brilliant! …oh.
Hang on, using protection gives you no aids at all?
Wicked. Time to break out the lube. The missus is getting ’sex surprise tonight!’
It has a list of materials…
Aids makes for good lube
definitely not for kids!
Wow. I put $5 on this being a christian school =D
I think she might be on to something.
Think I found the real Emily Hirt… Poor kid’s only 15 tho. Someone’s gotta tell her that her likeness is being plastered on the internet, bastardized to make her look like an ignorant bigot.
FYI: The kid is a boy, not a girl.
@I love Obama
You lost me at “drug.” If only you had dragged yourself to the dictionary, you might have been more persuasive.
Just kidding, you actually lost me at “Wow….I have no sense of humor.”
There are clear signs of photo-manipulation in this picture.
A glimpse of our future serial killer..
@ur1nighter
a glimpse into the world of photoshop ..
@Death
wow idiot did u not read the at least 7 comments saying it was photoshopped WITH LINKS
on the other hand i know this sounds fckd up but i wish it was real
These are the type of fucking idiot kids I want to step on.
Even if it might be photoshopped
She got a silver…It was obvious her parents helped her.
Little Susie Limbaugh’s project was a big success. She was mostly helped by her father, who did all of the experiments and got back to her on the results.
man on horse? okay….thats so WRONG!!
What the heck, just a really good example of extreme homophobia. If I had ever known this kid I would rip that necklace off of her and slap her in the face, such a retard.
And they say fundamentalist christians don’t believe scientific principles….
Over 80% of aids cases involve gay men….Whats everyone so hypersensitive about
Omg…. this is 100% against gays and lesbians… this is just wow….
EVERYONE who comments about this thinking it is real is a fucktard. IT IS PHOTOSHOPPED!!! There is even a link to the original all the way at the top (and repeated about a dozen times). Bunch of illiterate bastards. No wonder I can’t find anyone to hire that isn’t a moron.
it may not be real but that last one is hot!
I’m speechless… What happened to the love people??
I’m incredibly curious to see how she went about proving her hypothesis. Not only that, what in the hell were her materials? Did she put out a Craigslist ad for two gay men, two gay women, a heterosexual man, a heterosexual woman, a man willing to bang a horse and someone who had a horse that was willing to be banged? That is the only plausible conclusion I could come to. Otherwise, this is a forged project and it is a disgrace to the name of science.
Oh bloody hell
this is probably one of the greatest things i’ve ever seen!
