Fair drops Casey Anthony dunking booth
Published: July 20, 2011 at 3:09 PM

LEXINGTON, Ky., July 20 (UPI) -- A Kentucky fair has dismantled a Casey Anthony dunking booth after criticism for making light of the child murder case.

**SNIP**

Ron Mossotti, chairman of the fair, admitted to The Lexington Herald-Leader that the booth was "tacky and tasteless," but said, "We're not running a high-end social event."

"Most people laughed," he said. "They thought it was more satire than offensive."

The "State vs. Anthony" dunking booth let fairgoers vent their feelings about the Florida woman's acquittal in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. It had two targets, marked "guilty" and "innocent."

The fair promoted the booth on Facebook and Twitter and posted video of it.

Sounds like a money maker. And isn't that what fairs are all about?

Probably some liberal lawyer or politician shut it down, or threaten to cut government aid to the fair.

Bill O’Reilly showed a clip of this last night.

I think it was on his “Pinheads and Patriots” routine.
If so he will play it again tonight.

It was and this decision to dismantle the dunking booth was considered 'pinhead'....

....I'm totally comfortable with the dunking idea....after all, Anthony and her vile lawyer hope to make big money from a dead baby.

They should turn it into an online game and charge a buck a shot to promote Caylees Law. Would raise a million.

They are going to replace it with blow up ‘Casey Anthony’ dolls. Extra cost options include chloroform, trashbags and duct tape.

I’d have done it. It sounds like a great money maker, you are right. It’s tacky, but most fairs are.

Our church looked at having a dunking booth for our fair.
It turns out the cost of the liability insurance would have been more than the entire fair would take in.
