Video of the Day: The Statue of Liberty (of Cheese!)

Troy Landwehr, a champion cheese carver (who knew there was such a thing?), took four days to create this lovely Lady Liberty out of what started out as a 1,200 pound hunk of aged cheddar.

Despite the fact that the video is essentially a promo for Tracey Ullman's upcoming Showtime series, it's still oddly difficult to turn away. Troy, whose cheese carving is backed by a band in this video, has also carved Mount Rushmore out of a 700 pound block of cheese.

Actually its really easy to turn away. I cut that shit off at about a minute and didn't look back.

I'd say this is a waste of cheese but from the looks of it the guy at least eats everything after the event is over.

the song is kind of cheesy! ha. i couldn't resist. sorry.

Big deal. When he can do it with that spray cheese that comes out of a can then call me.
