The Iowa State Fair says a butter sculpture of the King of Pop will not be made for the 2009 fair. After the death of Michael Jackson, officials with the fair announced a sculpture would be made to honor him.

Many people protested that decision and the Iowa State Fair decided to put it to an online vote. The results were clear. Just over 65-percent of voters said they did not want a butter sculpture of Michael Jackson. Around 35-percent said yes. Fair officials say more than 100,000 votes were cast on their website. The results of a WHOtv.com poll were similar, with 70-percent of voters saying no to a Jackson sculpture and 30-percent saying yes.
