Sarah Palin can haz Cropcircle!

WHITEHOUSE, Ohio -- You need to be airborne to fully appreciate a corny caricature of Sarah Palin near Toledo, Ohio.

A 16-acre cornfield has been carved up in the likeness of the Republican vice presidential candidate to form a tourist attraction's fall corn maze.

The Butterfly House in Whitehouse is owned by Duke Wheeler, who says Palin created a lot of excitement in the campaign and he was hoping to generate some for this year's maze.

He says it took an artist from Idaho at least 8 hours to mow down corn stalks in a Palin pattern, complete with her familiar updo hairstyle and eyeglasses.

Wheeler says he thinks the Alaska governor would be proud.

The Butterfly House features an indoor garden filled with butterflies and an adjoining farm.

Some people just don't translate well to cornfield I'm afraid. Sarah Palin looks like Peggy Hill in that cornfield.

Also that corn field makes her look like a transsexual.

I never heard of Alan Partridge. But this does remind me of the episode of House where Dr. House kidnaps the star of his favorite Soap Opera.

Cropcircles are normally created by extraterrestial reconnaissance units in order to facilitate the upcoming human harvest. This Palinist tomfoolery will probably send a whole division of flying saucers in the wrong direction! Won't somebody think of the aliens?

I imagine it would be a short list of people who would translate well into cornfield...

Well David Bowie's head might be alright. It looked better in pieces, why not in corn?

I liked the comment from FARK on this story:
Farmer carves Sarah Palin's face into his cornfield as a maze, would have used Obama's but the corn kept miraculously growing back

The next time a Republican accuses a Democrat of being soft on immigration and illegal aliens, they should bring this up. At least the aliens we're easy-going on on terrestrial.

Once they're obviously damaged goods, they're no longer 'new'.

Which I think answers the first question too...
