It's neither wierd nor wonderful, but the YouTube video connected to it (Tom Durkin's Best Race Call) sure is funny! Tom Durkin has been the race caller for The Triple Crown for 10 years. Sweet Juliet, it isn't!

NASTY! But we have to do something to our chocolate to make it edible! Cadbury, it ain't!
It is probably real but I do wonder about the billboard up top. To be fair, this pic is from a County Fair. It's all about the side-show. It's not like we have one of these on every street corner. On second thought, maybe we do. It's called McDonalds.

My goodness, I saw corn dogs when I was over in the States, they looked...interesting! Covered in chocolate though...Yuk!
Talking of the Telegraph, I think saying "spooks stars" is pushing it a bit far.

I'm afraid is real haha. I think they often do this at county fairs in the US (I've heard of several of these unhealthy combinations sometime before).

I have to say, I do kind of admire the brazen honesty of the 'coronary combo'! At the same time, though, I'm deeply disturbed by an awareness of the brain that conceived of chocolate-covered bacon
And as for deep-fried butter... 
But, then again, any foodstuff(??) that can be experienced in its artery-hardening goodness even as it is being consumed might well be worth the risk, just for the experience

I think I'll become a Pastafarian, too and open a church called St. Linguini's.

how come I only get a square with a triangle a circle and a square inside it where that pic should be - maybe my security too high?

Oh, @Tea Lady, corn dogs are among the things that make the US what it is. I'm longing for them now, in my self-imposed Canadian exile.
