Bacon Kevin Bacon

Artist Mike Lahue worked with a medium we relate to when he created a bust of actor Kevin Bacon made out of ...bacon! A Seattle company that makes bacon products, J & D Foods, commissioned the sculpture.
Since owners Justin Esch and Dave Lefkow live by the motto "everything is better with bacon," the duo -- in partnership with bacon-crafting website What Do Bacon Do? -- decided to commission an artist to make a life-size bust of Kevin Bacon entirely out of bacon.

Why, you ask?

Well, they ask, "Why not?"

Actually, there is a good reason. The bust is going up for sale on eBay this afternoon to benefit Ashley's Team, a group that helps children with cancer and their families. Link -via Fark

There are several people whom this bust resembles more than Kevin Bacon: Warren Buffett, Donald Rumsfeld, FDR, Gene Kelly ... and on and on.

I really don't see any resemblance to Kevin Bacon whatsoever.

Hrm. My previous post is flagged. Ah well. Just wanted to point out that this is a dupe. Search the site for folding chair or flexible love. Been posted twice before.

I agree, I'm pretty sure this has been posted before also. I still think someone should take this idea, make it affordable, and sell it in the US in Walmart or something and you could make big bucks though.

I've never seen this posted on the front page, but I'd also be interested in seeing people actually sitting on the seat portions. Looks like a neat party trick, though.

There is a part 1 on youtube that shows two women sitting on the chair. Seems to be fairly stable. But, then again, sitting lightly and treating it as a couch are to different things entirely.
