Can you imagine buying a doll of a slain toddler you’ve
never met for your child? Well, a Florida
company whose humanity has clearly been entirely eclipsed by dollar signs hopes
the blond-haired Caylee Sunshine doll (only $29.99!) will be a great addition to
your child’s American Girl dolls and teddy bears.
One can only imagine the pain Caylee’s grandparents have
been in over the last year, due not only to the horrific tragedy of Caylee’s
death, but to the ubiquitous sensationalist news coverage of it. It’s terrible
enough to know that perfect strangers are getting some morbid enjoyment out of
reading about the greatest tragedy of your life, but then to find out that
perfect strangers are seeking to make a cheap buck out of it? I can’t even
fathom the outrage Caylee’s grandparents must be experiencing.
According to their lawyer, the company never sought approval
from Caylee’s family before going on a media blitz about the new doll.
Fortunately, an outraged public has sufficiently spoken out against the shockingly
ill-conceived Caylee doll that the manufacturer, Showbiz Productions, had no
choice but to listen. They have decided to hold off putting the doll on the
market.
In the meantime, they are sure to come up with other shockingly
ill-conceived merchandise.
