Attorney General Sues Jacksonville Maker of Caylee Anthony Doll, Michael Vick Chew Toy


Attorney General Sues Jacksonville Maker of Caylee Anthony Doll, Michael Vick Chew Toy
TALLAHASSEE, FL—Attorney General Bill McCollum today sued a Jacksonville company and its owner responsible for marketing and selling Caylee Anthony dolls and Michael Vick chew toys, but misrepresenting where proceeds for the sales would go. The lawsuit states Jaime Salcedo and his company Showbiz Promotions, LLC represented to potential customers that profits from the Caylee doll would benefit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and profits from the chew toys would be directed to local animal shelters and organizations. However, little or no contributions to these organizations have been made by either Salcedo or Showbiz Promotions to date...New complaints have since surfaced over the company’s use of Caylee Anthony’s name and likeness for the “Sunshine Doll Collection” and other “Caylee Sunshine” merchandise. The lawsuit states the company and Salcedo intentionally misrepresented that a $5,000 donation was made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children by Showbiz Promotions when, in fact, only a $10.00 donation was confirmed. This effort is outrageous and attempts to exploit the tragic murder of a child for personal benefit,” said Ernie Allen, President and CEO, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. “NCMEC does not and will not ever be associated with any attempt to commercialize or raise money in connection with the victimization of any child.” (Office of the Attorney General of Florida)
Who couldn't see this coming, a company would lie about their intentions to make money. Who the hell would buy a Caylee Anthony doll, whats the purpose. TO COLLECT it? Since when are murdered children dolls collectibles, they should sue the people who buy this shit. Didn't Nancy Grace and Headline news exploit this tragedy for months for ratings? Is this really different I'm sure the advertising rates aren't cheap for a show like Nancy Grace. This is her web page today look which story takes up most of the page. They have a Caylee Blog on Nancy Graces Website and as of right now advertisements for google and lawyers.com on the page. That seems like they are profiting off of a tragedy.
