Fucking butter fascists. It's not the fact that it's MJ's likeness they're protesting (I voted no online, btw). It's that they use artery clogging dairy products as the medium.

I'm sure the brain trust at PETA has protested the Iowa State Fair for years because of the use of butter to sculpt a life sized cow every year. It is something people have to see to appreciate, really. Growing up in Des Moines and going to the Fair every year it was my family's yearly ritual.
But there's more at the Fair to object to than the butter cow. There's Pork Chops on-a-stick, the "Hot Beef Sundae," plus twenty other "on-a-stick" menu items throughout the Fairgrounds. There's a barbecue competition, of course and don't forget there's five or six huge venues for showing various livestock species, which is often the centerpiece for many Fairs.
The Iowa State Fair is more than a tribute to farming, though. There are various buildings dedicated to arts and crafts, Music, fine art and the celebration of culture and diversity scattered all over the place. That and you can grab a beer and walk the midway and count the mullets.
I won't be there this year but I will wear my "People for the Eating of Tasty Animals" T-shirt as a form of silent counter-protest. I can't think of a more trivial thing to protest than a butter likeness of a famous or infamous person. Fuck it. I'm going to Red Robin and enjoy some meaty goodness.
