Title text: This poster actually inspired a two-hour powerpoint presentation that Al Gore gave around the country.

Explanation

A science fair involves schoolchildren doing research on a subject of their choice. The purpose is to give them hands-on experience with scientific techniques. Even so, a project based on cunnilingus, oral stimulation of the female genitalia, or any project in which an element of the human female anatomy is displayed, would not be acceptable in a science fair, a setting that is not only public but also involving children.

Especially cute are the notations for a function, its Fourier transform, and its Laplace transform.

The title text is probably a reference to An Inconvenient Truth, a 94-minute documentary film where former US vice president Al Gore teaches the general public about the dangers of global warming. It has been included in science curricula in schools around the world, to the ire of easily bored students everywhere.

You can, but it's pretty dry.162.158.74.51 17:14, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
Hell, I'll take it dry if it means he'll get better with his tongue 172.68.54.94 13:00, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
Ok, stop. 162.158.58.153 06:23, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm surprised no one has commented on the report being on pink cardboard, that has to parted in order to get to the good stuff. i.e. the information. (This I'm very first comment, so apologies if my formatting is incorrect. )
