Help the Michael Jackson butter statue become a reality.

Mopower · 07-09-09, 04:46 PM

Every year since 1910 a sculpture makes things out of butter for the Iowa State Fair. This year they wanted to make a Michael Jackson statue but it has now come to a vote due to the backlash against it. I think it would be awesome to have one. So please help make it happen!

Here are some Des Moines zip codes.
50301 50306
50302 50307
50303 50308
50304
50305

Let's do this people. What butter way to celebrate the King of Pop by recreating him in rich creaminess.

The cow they make every year. Boring!

Here's hoping the weather stays cool so his nose doesn't melt off!

(Then again, I suppose that would add a touch of realism!)

arminius · 07-09-09, 05:52 PM

Isn't the color a bit too dark?

KillerCannibal · 07-09-09, 06:14 PM

Voted twice.

Suprmallet · 07-09-09, 06:19 PM

Voted.

What the hell, I voted. I don't suppose a buttery Michael Jackson could hurt anybody.

it needs to be white chocolate on the outside with dark chocolate inside!

It's not just a MJ butter statute, but a MJ moonwalking on the moon with Neil Armstrong statue. I definitely voted.

tofu · 07-11-09, 04:54 PM

I voted for it. Can't wait to see the pictures of it.

Mmmm. But what if I eat it all?

The concept of the sculpture will be a celebration of the 40th anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s moonwalk on July 20, 1969. In honor of Armstrong’s “giant leap for mankind,” this year’s sculpture will include an astronaut, an American flag and a buttery rendition of the surface of the moon. Depending on the vote, Michael Jackson would be featured in a small side portion of the sculpture as the first pop-star to perfect and popularize choreographed moonwalking.

You better believe I voted for that.

Xander · 07-15-09, 12:32 PM

I voted. I want to see if the Michael Jackson butter statue is better than last year's Shawn Johnson.
