The Human Race

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28873370/?GT1=43001

Things like this make me want to cancel my membership with the human race. A company wants to sell a doll named and modeled after 2-year-old slained Caylee Anthony. How can anyone want to profit from a poor little girl's murder?

The company defended the doll, saying "in addition to raising money for a national missing and exploited children's organization, the doll would help promote awareness. We want to give … we're not trying to get rich. We're putting ourselves at a whole lot of risk... She'll be a banner for missing and exploited children, and people will know and have a better idea how to handle those situations or stop those situations from happening."

That's a bunch of BS. Money, not social awareness, is what they're after. They've suspended the sale of this doll for now. I hope they downright take it off the market for good.

On top of that, this company has been rated with an "F" by the BBB. This pretty much sums up the poor business practice and/or ethics this company has. If this doll does end up getting back on the market for sale, I truly hope no one buys it. The idea is just disgusting and disgraceful.
