Meat the Presidential Candidates: Obama and Romney Get the Jerky Treatment

posted August 23, 2012 by

Portraits of the presidential candidates made entirely out of meat? What a delicious idea!

In honor of the upcoming election, Jack Link's Jerky partnered with mosaic artist Jason Mecier to create 3D portraits of President Barack Obama and the presumptive Republican candidate Mitt Romney, both made entirely out of Jack Link's meat snacks. The portraits, dubbed Barack Obameat and Meat Romney, each took Mecier approximately 50 hours to produce."

Not only did the portraits take a grueling 50 hours to produce, but a variety of jerky flavors were used including: original beef, turkey, sweet and spicy beef, and smokehouse beef. Personally, I'm more of a sweet and spicy guy myself, so Mitt's scalp looks especially delicious. And it plays into the cannibal fantasy, without the actual cannibalism.

Wait a second! Did I just confess to a cannibal fantasy? Eesh, that's a little disturbing...
