I can't believe it's not PETA.

Congealed panda fat is firmer as a working medium at those temperatures.

Dairy products are now "keeping the animals down" now apparently... and I thought they reached the pinnacle of stupid with the "live-trapping flies" thing.

/Was wrong.

It's like they're not even trying to sound like they have a legitimate cause anymore.

JOIN PETA: The world will call you weird and crazy. But hey, they'll be paying attention to you. You like attention. That's what counts.

I also think they should use "I can't believe it's not butter".
Or SNOT for short.
Very suitable medium.

Won't someone think of the vegetables?

Now if only PETA could direct me to some animal friendly lube.

They should make it from canola Margarine, because a statue of Micheal Jackson completely made of rape-seed is somehow fitting.


/The lower melting point though might mean his face might melt somehat.
//However, This shouldn't make a noticeable difference...

F them!
Vegetable oil doesn't have the same consistency needed for sculpting.

They should change their name to PITA

I think that PETA is on to something here, for once. Why waste all that butter on a likeness of a mediocre talent such as Michael Jackson?

Iowa has their own State Fairy now?
Is that like the Harvest Queen?

Won't they all melt when we recreate the Pepsi Generation commercial?

You've been hit by a smooth creamy oleo.

How about "fark off".

I'm all for animal rights (ok, well not all, I never understood the fuss over furs that comes from people wearing leather shoes), but this is retarded.

We're not going to stop eating meat. Butter is the least of your worries, morans.

BUT then that would call all the 'butter face'

Absolutely. That is, as long as we can shoot the winner after the battle.

It makes sense, keeping with the spirit of Mr. Jackson. He was comprised of 90% non-animal plastics.
 
2009-07-16 07:14:23 AM
Might as well use fake butter... most of MJ was fake.

What do the North American Marlon Brando Look Alikes have to do with Michael Jackson?

/Sorry, that was too easy.

Doubtful. An early 90's Jordan Chandler statue made of butter would be much more likely.

I got your butter substitute right here.

FTFA: "Michael donated to many children's health charities in the hopes of providing a healthier future for kids," wrote Tracy Reiman, PETA's executive vice president. "In tribute to his passion, please don't promote artery-clogging dairy products to children by using butter for the statue."

So PETA is now speaking out against childhood cardiovascular disease?

\I guess they weren't getting enough attention with animal rights
\\I'm not supporting free range children!
\\\They get really tough and chewy

Michael Jackson has died. Why can't the news coverage of him do likewise?
 
2009-07-16 08:18:49 AM
Meanwhile thousands of abused animals go unnoticed by PETA.

The ASPCA frowns upon your shenanigans PETA.

/Annatto, are you ok?

My favorite from the article (evidently, whether or not to have a sculpture of Jackson at all is an issue):

"Others aren't so delighted, thinking his quirky personal life should disqualify him from being so prominent in a State Fair exhibit."

They're worried that he's not a good enough role model. To be sculpted in butter. At a state fair.

/and can one of you please, someday come up with a new anti-vegetarian joke? I haven't seen any new ones for years
 
2009-07-16 08:45:14 AM
PETA really damages their own cause by picking the most ridiculous battles. They are just nuts. (Check out the episode of Bullshiat! by Penn adn Teller about them...)

dersk: /and can one of you please, someday come up with a new anti-vegetarian joke? I haven't seen any new ones for years

PETA and "vegetarian" are not equivalents.

Parkay?

You are not oleo.
