Iowa State Fair shoots down the Michael Jackson Butter Sculpture

[Condem]

After announcing that Jacko would be the subject of one the famous butter sculptures, a number of Iowans responded negatively to the news. So the State Fair put it to a public vote. 65%-35%, against. I guess we get Neil Armstrong.

8. The Jesus sculpture was chocolate

Which would also melt rather quickly in the heat.

10. Actually, the one in the picture is steel and styrofoam

But it is known as the "Big Butter Jesus": http://www.neatorama.com/2008/03/20/big-butter-jesus/

7. A butter sculpture? In JULY???

Can't they make it out of something that doesn't melt? How about a huge wheel of cheese or something??

Yeah cheese melts too, but it takes longer than butter, for fucks sake.

We're not stupid. Besides, its 55 degrees right now. In July.
