So I don't follow the murdered-toddler news beat too closely, but apparently, Caylee Anthony was a little girl killed by her mom in Florida. Now some guy is selling merchandise that bears her name, including something called the "Inspirational Caylee Sunshine Doll."
From the story on Chattahbox:
The company argues that they are not trying to profit, but to spread awareness, and honor the memory of a little girl who was taken too soon from this world.Wow. That is fucking creepy. A dead baby singing to you... shiver. Anyway, the doll has been pulled off the market, which seems an appropriately sane response. It also means that creepy doll collectors the world over can start salivating. But here's my favorite part of the story:“We want to give, we’re not trying to get rich,” Jaime Salcedo, head of Showbiz Promotions, and creator of the doll told the courts.
The doll looks nothing like the real Caylee did, but does have her name, and sings ‘You Are My Sunshine’, just as in the widely viewed home movie of Caylee, months before she disappeared.
This is not the first controversial toy that Showbiz Promotions has attempted to release. Another that caused an outcry was the Michael Vick chew toy.BWAA-HA-HA okay that's funny. I want one.
