The Kentucky State Fair gives 3rd place to an artist, then removes his work
A winning miniature set in the Kentucky State Fair entitled “The Casting Couch” was removed from display for being inappropriate — after officials realized it depicted an infamous adult film set.
“The whole thing is basically just an inside joke,” Poling told The Post Friday. “I wanted to enter it into the fair to see if people could catch on to the concept.Computer executive, 66, with bladder ailment sues for $1.5M after being fired for peeing in Times Square hotel lobbyPoling’s recreation of the infamous casting couch in an adult film scenario caused quite a stir at the Kentucky State Fair.
Photos of the naughty display even show a sweat stain on the couch, to imply that it was indeed used.The drama unfolded when Poling was alerted by friends that his design had vanished. He posted a “missing” alert on his Instagram page, “The Kentucky State Police were called after it was initially thought his popular set was stolen, only to learn in the melee that it had been removed, Poling said.
The artist, who owns a residential painting company in Louisville, said he only picked up the design hobby in 2020 out of boredom from the pandemic, re-creating the iconic living room from “Frasier.” That set won first place in the dollhouse category at that year’s fair.
