We appreciate the input of hundreds of people who have voiced their opinions, both positive and negative, on the issue of including Michael Jackson in the 2009 butter sculpture.
The ongoing discussion has created a lot of, well, ‘churn.’ Since everyone has an opinion about the sculpture, we’ve decided to put it to a vote and let Fairgoers decide.
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.
Do you think Michael Jackson should be part of the 2009 butter sculpture?
Yes No Email Zip Code

Why are they discussing the butter sculpture in advance of the fair? I thought the butter sculpture was to be a closely guarded secret until the unveiling...
Oh, why certainly.
Michael Jackson’s silly dance step has equal historical significance with the magnificient triumph of the US Space program culminating on July 20, 1969 with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s landing at Tranquility Base.
I’m sure the high school history texts will say so. But nothing of course, trumps the incredible episode of Rosa Parks.
Nothing.
Jackson’s “moonwalk” has absolutely no relation to actual moon-walking. Why was it even called moonwalking? Why dilute the tribute to the astronauts and America’s accomplishment with some gratuitous homage to a pop star? Geez.
It’s not a secret. Besides, they have to work many hours on getting the sculpture of the little boy with his pants around his ankles just right.
Because being black (well, sort of) is now officially considered an actual skill. That's why Obama won the election.
for my email address, I put: areyououttayourpedophillicmind@hotmale.com
Go youtube the clip of him on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Michael wasn't an innovator. He was talented but he didn't create it.
The Michael Jackson sculpture should be prominently displayed in the Fair section that honors pedophiles. /s
Beautiful
“The Michael Jackson sculpture should be prominently displayed in the Fair section that honors pedophiles.”
If he’s there, it will be.
Voted, thanks for your zip.
How is this worth anybody’s time?
I’d never be able to eat butter again without puking!
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
given the incomplete media attention,
I understand the significance of a michael jackson butter statue.
But shouldn’t the “buttee” also be represented ?
I am going to have to make a phone call.... Follow me on this one... my husbands best friend’s wife is the one who does the butter sculpture. She took the job over 5 years ago from a woman who had been doing it for almost 40 years. I can’t imagine she will be doing Jackson!
bttt
LOL!
