Perhaps we are thinking about this the wrong way, of course Iowa Corn wanted to make the worst ******* trophy of all time... Look at the publicity they are getting from this dumb-*** trophy!!

One of those schemes where they can make more money with a flop than a hit?

Iowa Corn said it did test very well at shady acres retirement community

Was that the same place that was on the news the other night for not getting medical attention for a woman that had fallen and broken several ribs and punctured a lung? Yeah... Now I see why they would vote for that soft cuddly family scene. The voting was rigged.

Need some copy and paste action here....

Someone has made an account to mock Iowa Corn: Iowa_CornPR Iowa Corn PR

A few of their tweets thus far:

@MurphyKeith We wanted to capture an iconic scene of an Iowa farm family. And the quickest way to embarrass everyone in the state.

@meg_elizabeth But a bucket of vomit can't unite the state like an overly-priced, poorly executed trophy!

That's a great idea! // RT @switchroute: Whats next, plant corn in the end zone?

@iahawk72 It's very simple. We decidedly internally, no matter what happened, we would pick the very worst option for nearly everybody.

When I first saw this I though I was looking at a statue on my Grandma's shelf.........this thing is terrible. Can you imagine players running over and grabbing little Billy by the head and holding this up above their heads? I have heard very few who like it, I hope someone can swallow their pride and redo this thing.

Is this a mock account or more of any attention is attention. Granted Iowa Corn official twitter is @iowa_corn.

I'm neither a Cyclone or Hawkeye fan and i'm embarrassed by the trophy. As a former FFA member & officer, Ag will always have a special place in my heart, but Iowa is changing and over 60% of the state is urban. This trophy does nothing but further grow the Iowa stereotype of being nothing but an Ag state.
