I'm Not Obsessed with CowsHonestly, I'm not. It's just that there have been a lot of cow related stories in the news as of late... even for Wisconsin. The latest is this piece of news from Glendale where Kopps Custard has had a permit rejected to put a display of fiberglass cows along the back wall of it's parking lot (emphasis mine):
Cows are an advertisement for a custard stand? What a coincidence... Kopps is a custard stand! Why the hell should the owner of a custard stand not be allowed to advertise his own damn product on his own damn property?! It's not like they're going to stand out that much... they'll be in the back of the property:
The "beasties" being referred to was a "public art" (if you want to call it that) display in downtown Milwaukee last summer. Heaven forbid that a property owner be allowed to do something he wants to his own property. And calling cows an advertisement because it's a custard stand is like calling bushes in front of a strip club an advertisement. Next you're going to tell me that McDonald's shouldn't be allowed to put a menu on it's drive-thru because that's an advertisement for hamburgers... and I haven't even begun to talk about the golden arches. It's plainly obvious that Mr. Fuchs is on a power trip, and just doesn't like the cows. Tough shit... you don't have to like them, it's not your restaurant!
