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.

Spitzer, Prostitutes, Strippers & Rockets

Spitzer & Strippers
I refuse to acknowledge the man who was governer of New York as of tommorrow by his title first. Apparently Elliot Spitzer, the man who built his political carrer as a leader who will root out all corruption, LOVES him some prostitutes. There goes one of your super delegates who can vote any way they please Hillary.

Gov.Elliot Spitzer, who was considered an example of moral rectitude in the political world, apologized today after a report discovered him to be linked to a prostitution ring. At a televised news conference, before around 100 reporters, Spitzer did not deny the accusations, but refused to give further details on the matter. "Today, I want to briefly address a private matter," he said. "I have acted in a way that violates my obligations to my family and that violates my, or any, sense of right and wrong. I apologize first and most importantly to my family. I apologize to the public whom I promised better,” Spitzer said. "I have disappointed and failed to live up to the standard I expected of myself," he added, referring to his well-known determination in eradicating all types of corruption. He said nothing about his political future and did not answer reporters’ questions about whether he would resign. The New York Times was the first to link Spitzer to the prostitution ring on Friday, one day after four people were arrested, as charged of helping run the ring.The Democrat was caught on a federal wiretap while arranging a meeting between himself and a prostitute in the call-girl business at a Washington Hotel. The governor was not charged, and he said he would retreat to his Upper East Side home, to spend some time trying to regain the trust of his family. The 48-year-old Democrat is married and the father of three teenage girls. Republicans immediately asked for his resignation. "He has to step down. No one will stand with him," said Rep. Peter King, a Republican from Long Island, according to the Associated Press. "I never try to take advantage or gloat over a personal tragedy. However, this is different. This is a guy who is so self-righteous, and so unforgiving." If Spitzer resigns, the one who will take his place is Lt.Gov. David Paterson, who will then become New York’s first black governor. Other politicians who were involved in sex scandals are Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, Connecticut Gov. John Rowland and Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho. As an attorney general, Spitzer investigated several cases that involved prostitution rings. In 2004, he took part in an investigation of an escort service in New York City, which ended with the arrest of 18 people charged of promoting prostitution.(eFluxMedia 2008)
