The simple design Poling created was a smaller version of The Casting Couch, a popular pornography set.

The casting couch was one of four pieces Poling submitted for the contest.

State fair officials also considered disqualifying Poling as an artist and removing his other entries from the competition.

That guy was the only downside to Casting Couch.

Didn’t stop me from watching, but I wish they used a different dude (pause).
