Is butter fit for the "King of Pop"?

This certainly has to be one of the great moral questions of the age., and leave it to the good folks of Iowa to forthrightly face it. (story here)
It appears that shortly after Michael Jackson's death, The Iowa State Fair announced that they would honor him with a display of his likeness sculpted in butter. But the announcement raised concerns of many critics in the Hawkeye State who felt that the late entertainer was not worthy of such an honor. Though assured by state fair officials that the proposed sculpture would not be displayed with the same degree of prominence accorded to the traditional butter sculpture of a cow (how's that for a golden calf?), the critics were not satisfied.
Organizers chose to let voters decide. Voters can go to iowastatefair.org to weigh in on the matter. Voting closes at 3 p.m. Thursday, July 16, 2009.
