The Des Moines Regiser's John Carlson spreads the news:
The often-detested, sometimes-loved and always-controversial People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals thinks Michael Jackson's image most definitely should not be sculpted in butter at the 2009 Iowa State Fair.
Heck, PETA doesn't even think the butter cow should be made out of butter.
The animal rights organization recommends using something called "Earth Balance," which it describes as a "nondairy buttery spread." Either that "or another vegan spread instead of butter."
Not likely, since the butter cow is one of the most popular attractions at the fair every year, the display is sponsored by the Midwest Dairy Association and the fair is a meat-centered food extravaganza where pork chops on a stick are more popular than cotton candy and deep-fried Snickers bars.
Deep-fried Snickers bars? Eew!
Oh, but we were talking about Michael Jackson...
The live Jacko had crossed paths with PETA. Apparently the radical group does not want Jackson to rest in peace. Or butter.
