The University of Kentucky gets the dubious distinction of being the first college south of the Maxon-Dixon line to hang possible-future-president Barack Obama in effigy. Ironically, the display was first discovered by a guy named Lynch:
Mike Lynch, a faculty member who works in a building near where the effigy was found, said he saw it around 8:40 a.m. He described it as life-sized with a Barack Obama Halloween mask, a suit jacket and sweat pants.
“This, as far as I’m concerned, says nothing — absolutely nothing — representative of this university or this community,” he said.
Except that its students are copycats.
