    God unleashes his anger on giant cowboy statue

    Big Tex, the beloved 52-foot-tall cowboy who’s watched over the State Fair of Texas for decades, caught on fire Friday morning and was quickly burnt to a crisp.

    He was 60.

    Big Tex is toast. The tallest talking Texan will no longer say “Hoooowwwdeee, fooolllllks!” at this year’s fair, which ends Sunday. But State Fair officials say the icon will be rebuilt in time for next year.

    Hundreds gathered in Big Tex Circle to watch the big guy go up in flames. Many stood in tears. Others snapped pictures with their smartphones, spreading the news online as quickly as the fire spread up Big Tex. They reminisced about the good-lookin’ folksy fair mascot who first arrived at Fair Park in 1952.

    No one was injured.
    State fair officials should know better than to attempt to thwart God's judgment.

    RIP Big Tex.
    I'm confident he'll be back next year.

                Well that's one area where the Okies are 100% correct .

                  You would think the Texas government would have better things to spend their money on than giant eyesores.

                    It cost something like $750 dollars at the time it was bought, numb nuts.

                      Which is probably what a house would cost now. How old were you then Tex?

                        Let the private sector build it. Waste of taxpayer money.

                          No! If it's big irritating and unnecessary it must be a government project.
                          There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

                              A Black Day in Texas. I remember seeing the mouth trying to move with the announcer "welcome to Czechoslovakia Day..."


                              Now everything at the State fair is fried. The Chicken. The Oreos. The Butter. Big Tex.


                              He'll be back next year.
