Wonkette operative “Laura S.” was just cold drivin’ through Iowa when she spotted these awful giant-human heads growing out of the fertile, head-growin’ Iowa manure-soil. What is this about? Well, that’s Mitt Romney on the left. He emerges from the Iowa dirt every four years, like Mormon Jeebus, to once again haunt the people of Iowa, who will (like every year) refuse to nominate him for anything.

Is that some weird Reagan/Romney/every racist Southern AG from the 50′s amalgamation on the right?
As an aside, what a gorgeous part of the country.
Looks like someone has been using giant Mitt head for target practice with a .22.
So who’s the in-your-face bastard on the right? “Vote for my pal Mitt’r I’m gonna f*ck you up!”
re alt-text; No it’s Gilbert Gottfried. Run!
Needs more tornado.
Even more confusing: Mitt Romney is campaigning to the Left of someone? Doesn’t he know that’s no way to win the Republican nomination?
Those giant heads appear to be constructed of smaller images, which is called ART, for all youse philistines out there. I bet when you enhance those images with N.C.I.S. SCIENCE, the little pics are all of a naked Ronnie Reagan.
They’re like the Moai statues. Only the one on the right is giving the photographer the shocker.
In a wiser world, this 365/24/7 campaign cycle would really start to piss people off. I blame Hillary.
/snark
/not really
The guy on the right is, of course, Dale Peterson, candidate for the Alabama Agriculture Commission, and he will literally fucking shoot the next person who steals one more fucking Dale Peterson lawn sign with his motherfucking rifle. I am serious, he will ride his fucking horse to your fucking house and shoot you in the face, amen.
I shudder to think what kind of seed a farmer must put in the ground to produce something as wicked as those heads.
It warms the cockles of this primitive cave-painter’s that even in Iowa – the middle of Freakin’ IOWA, fer god’s sake – you can some freaky kinda mess-with-your-head art installations.
Bless you, Iowa.
Wingnuts of the Corn.
So where in Iowa are these heads? Outside Lamoni would be ironic; it’s connected with Mormon mythology, somehow.
Are you sure that’s Mittens? I swear they look like Jeb & W…but I haven’t had an eye check up in years, combined with all the booze, it’s a wonder I still recognize my husband.
It’s no Easter Island , that’s for sure.
[re=581696]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: That comment was lacking in heart, cave-moron.
Doesn’t have quite the same effect as seeing Ray Liotta in an Iowa cornfield.
What did Iowa ever do to deserve this? Oh, wait, that’s right. Iowa asked for it.
Do those heads grow out of “cow-pies” like magic mushrooms?
GIANT MONSTARS
I always knew we spent way too much money on farm subsidies for Iowa, but people might really start to demand a fix once they learn the money is going to grow giant human head-corn hybrids.
Mitt / Is shaved / So neat and trim / Red Riding Hood / Is chasing him / Burma-Shave
This Motel Hell remake looks fucking terrible.
People won’t come, Ray. People won’t come.
The g on the left looks like John Travolta. The finger pointing guy sort of resembles the late Alexander Haig.
[re=581667]subo[/re]: You are correct. It is a lovely place and the majority of people are way too nice to have to put up with this bullshit. I will exclude those in Steve King’s district.
That’s it — I’m not eating any more of that genetically modified corn.
[re=581667]subo[/re]: Yeah I just love the parts of the country with grass, dirt, and power lines.
[re=581701]ph7[/re]: Or Cadillac Ranch.
I’m pretty sure that’s Joe Wilson, letting you know that you lie!
[re=581700]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: At first I was thinkin Jeb too. However at closer examination it looks like Will Ferrell. Maybe its Gorilla Marketing for Anchor Man II. Or maybe its an Invisible Mormom Jeebus Dog Fence, to “Keep the dogs in”.
Either way, Neihlist, we need some shot angles.
[re=581727]Extemporanus[/re]: “Meat’s meat and man’s gotta eat!”
“Dinnsdale? Dinnsdale!”
It’s like traveling out west along I-80. Every once in awhile you come across some giant thing or another made of corn or old tires. Then you stop, take a picture and marvel at how much time some poor bastard has on his hands.
I thought I smelled dog poop and hypocrisy.
Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart. Can’t build anything on it, can’t grow anything in it. The government says it’s due to poor farming, but I know what’s really going on. It’s Mitt Romney. He’s in it with the aliens. They’re building landing strips for gay Martians, I swear to God!
John Boehner??
Worst Children of the Corn remake evar!
That’s Dubya on the right, isn’t it? Were there more? Where’s Reagan?
You people laugh now, but it will be us Iowans that will have the last laugh, when Norma Lyon reveals her butter cow sculpture at the Iowa State Fair in August.
BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Guess they have really big gophers in Iowa
That’s not Mitt, it’s a shallow, cardboard avatar of Ron… OK, never mind.
[re=581776]Come here a minute[/re]: I came back here just to make sure someone got that.
[re=581744]pondscum[/re]: I grew up in Steve King’s district, and I can’t figure out what happened to them to make them vote for him. He ought to represent some place in Ohio or Idaha. Maybe black magic or something.
[re=581982]GOPCrusher[/re]: That’s Norma “Duffy” Lyon to you. Otherwise well played.
The signs scare away the gays seeking marriage in Iowa .. the “gay marriage Mecca” as Steve King calls it.
It’s not actually Mittens, thank the Mormon god. It’s an art installation: http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/93462534.html
(My former boss owns the property and is the guy in this news clip.)
Someone asked where these “heads” are: I-80, on the edge of Iowa City.
[re=581727]Extemporanus[/re]: They make me think of Rory Calhoun. And then I get hungry, cuz it takes all kinds of critters to make those tasty fritters!
I blame the folks on Easter Island. If only they had stuck to fishin’ and basket weavin’…
[re=582299]lazynamepicker[/re]: oh, art. hmmm, art? Thanks for solving the mystery, it has had us baffled for days. I knew one of you clever Wonkettes would figure it out.
[re=582300]lazynamepicker[/re]: Iowa City, center of liberalism in Iowa!
Apparently this is all the talk about Iowa City this morning. I’m thinking the artist was intentionally misleading folks. There is no way you look at those and get “anger, confusion, and amusement”. I think he meant to make it intentionally provocative so folks would talk about it. I think the artist is a douche.
Lam: You would love the landowner, though. He bought up about 250 acres of prime development land on the edge of town and is creating a nature preserve and outdoor art venue. Check it out: http://www.harvestpreserve.org/
