The Inspirational Caylee Sunshine Doll is officially on sale from these fun folks beginning tomorrow. If you want to buy your doll representing a murdered child, you can pay 29.99 for an 18-inch long moppet with blonde hair wearing a little T-shirt with a sunshine logo and the legend, "Caylee Sunshine."
Just when you think it can't get any worse, though, the doll will sing "You Are My Sunshine" if you punch her belly button. I wish I was making this up. I wish it didn't appear to be totally serious. But you know, if wishes were horses, yadayada...
I'm guessing duct tape and a little heart sticker will be extra.
Seriously, though -- what the hell is wrong with people? I wish I had something more sophisticated to say, but I don't. Reps for Showbiz Promotions say the doll is a tribute, but come on -- it's obvious what it is -- an attempt to cash in. Even if the proceeds from Caylee Sunshine go to charity -- it isn't the only product these folks promote. They're counting on bringing extra dollars in, regardless. They want you to check out their Jacksonville Jaguars stuff, or their Christ Life Store. What sane folks should do is boycott these people to teach them a lesson -- but I won't hold my breath.
So... to really check out the meaning of puke-worthy or to get an idea as to what your friendly neighborhood pedophile will be purchasing just after midnight tonight, take a look at CayleeDoll.com, why dontcha? If you don't mind your soul being slowly eaten each time the Caylee Sunshine Doll appears on the screen, that is.
Maybe we now know the real reason George Anthony finally snapped and headed out to off himself late last week. This was the Talky Tina straw that broke the old silver-haired camel's back. [Orlando Sentinel]
Oh my gawd Steve this just makes me sick. I think it just ruined my day in fact. Thank you for bringing this to light and I hope these bloodsuckers nothing but the worst in their lives.
Posted 01/26/2009 at 08:17:54 PMThis is a digusting thing. Making money on this baby's death. Profiting off death and sorrow is very sad.
Posted 01/26/2009 at 08:21:24 PMFind another way to make money.
I wasn't happy with the Sasha and Malia dolls and now I see this. This just leaves me to believe that all of these people are missing a peice of their brain that tells them what is just plain WRONG! Makes me sick, but I am sure someone else will top this by tomorrow.
Posted 01/26/2009 at 08:25:30 PMThat video of the girl and her doll is sick. What a terrible thing to sell I feel so bad for that little girl.
Posted 01/26/2009 at 08:26:05 PMThis is absolutely sickening! Can they use that child's image without the family's approval??? Just how is this doll supposed to inspire and what is it supposed to inspire?? The child is not even buried yet, is she?
There is a special place in hell for people like this.
Posted 01/26/2009 at 08:26:14 PMIf you can all stomache to click on the link, go over and 'flag' the blog for objectionable content. Advertising a poor murdered baby not yet even buried IS objectionable.

Posted 01/26/2009 at 08:31:52 PMJust saw this on Nancy Grace,almost fell off my chair.What a bunch of sickels trying to profit off this little girl.They make me want to puke!
Posted 01/26/2009 at 08:43:28 PMThis so sick!!! i can not believe that there are sicko big companies that actually promote such a hidious product! Our daughter died in 1996 and I have photos of her, but no haunting doll, in her likeness or not! If ya'll did not see Nancy Grace try to pry the truth out of the CEO about this doll ya'll missed out! God Bless that poor little Caylee, we can remember her w/o a doll.
Posted 01/26/2009 at 08:45:20 PMIf it's not crap like this, it's jokers (literally) like the bastard in Belgium who walked into a daycare center with his face painted up like Heath Ledger's and a 8" butcher knife and stabbed two dozen babies & toddlers (at least 2 fatally). Yeah, what the hell is wrong with some people, indeed?
Posted 01/26/2009 at 08:47:58 PMthis is the most blatant exploitation of a victim i have ever seen.
Posted 01/26/2009 at 10:23:12 PMPerhaps the doll knows who her father is??????????????
Posted 01/26/2009 at 10:37:24 PMThat may just be the most tasteless thing I've ever seen.
Posted 01/26/2009 at 11:22:43 PMDenise-
I went to flag the blog and am not sure which option to check for the reason I am flagging it.
Do you have any suggestions??
TIA,

Posted 01/27/2009 at 12:19:42 AMFirst of all I would like to say I hadn't heard of the belgium story about those poor children. Anyone who can do ANYTHING violent to a child should be put to death no matter WHAT the situation.I have ZERO tolerance for violence including children, I can barely say no to my son... Some people are sick. And about the doll it's disgusting, cashing in on a exploited dead child, wow where are peoples morals!!!!! I hope no one buys the doll. I hope justice will be served as soon as possible to the murder of the beautiful caylee marie anthony... Rest in peace little angel, you are out of harms way now.
Posted 01/27/2009 at 01:47:43 AMThat is fucking gross.
And there WILL be people who buy the damn thing.
Posted 01/27/2009 at 02:45:40 AMFrom the Caylee Doll Fund Raising Site: "Caylee’s death will not be in vane." I guess along with taste and decency, spelling isn't a strong point either. Vain: ineffectual or unsuccessful; futile: a vain effort.
Posted 01/27/2009 at 08:00:15 AMHi Steve -
Posted 01/27/2009 at 08:42:26 AMHeard about this monstrosity on the radio today. The hosts mentioned that the audio might be taken from Caylee singing "You are my sunshine" in her last known home video. It's too sickening to even consider researching, but if that is, in fact, true, I will definitely lose my lunch. When I heard this story, all I could think about was your post on the creepy "tribute" montages. How do people like this exist?
Well it appears your story made some difference Steve, good for you! I just went to the site, and they are not releasing the toy.... yet!
http://www.cayleedoll.com/
from the site:
It was our intention to begin the sale of the Sunshine Caylee Doll at 12:00pm January 27, 2009. As we mentioned to the media in our press release it was very important that we allow the press to present our idea to the public first, in an effort to measure the reaction to our fund raising efforts. As the story developed we also announced that we would be donating 100% of the profits to charity. However, after reviewing the response to our media introduction of the Sunshine Caylee Doll and listening to the advice of the general public. We feel that is it best to suspend the launch of The Sunshine Caylee Doll.
While we still feel it is important to raise awareness and raise money to help stop this type of crime from being committed. We feel we can be more effective using more traditional methods.
We would like to that everyone who made comments or called us to express their opinion.
Sincerely,
Jaime Salcedo
President
Showbiz Promotions
Posted 01/27/2009 at 09:28:22 AMThe doll looks cheap, and creepy,like chuckie lol. and if I saw it at someone's house, I'd think they were weird. You can tell that not alot of thought or talent went into crafting the thing. That's an insult to Caylee, right there. The target consumer is most likely the nutty ones that are using their hate to help finish off George and Cindy. Nuts...jmo
Posted 01/27/2009 at 09:38:53 AMYou corrected the spelling, but you left off the period at the end of the sentence. I am glad you suspended the sale of the doll, but what about the tee shirts, wrist bands, etc.? Sick, sick, sick, sick, SICK!
NOTE FROM STEVE: You do realize I am only writing ABOUT this, don't you? Your comment is confusing, as if you think you're actually talking directly to the person who tried to sell this awful thing. No. I'm just one of the people who told you all about it, because it made me sick.
Posted 01/27/2009 at 01:22:21 PMGO TO THAT SAME LINK ABOVE http://cayleesunshinecontact.blogspot.com/ AND SEE ,NOW THEY SAY THEY GONNA GIVE 100% TO CHARITY.... I SAY-----F-THAT!!!DESTROY THE DAMN DOLLS ASAP!! HEY ,FAMILY DOLLAR SELLS A DOLL THAT SINGS RINGAROUND THE ROSIE THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT AND SPEAKS 3 LANGUAGES FOR 10.00.. FREDS STORE SELLS A DOLL THAT LOOKS AND IS DRESSED ALMOST IDENTICAL EXCEPT FOR SHIRT LOGO, THAT HAS A SLIDING BOARD FOR 8.95..
Posted 01/27/2009 at 01:39:31 PMPlease sign the petition to see that this NEVER happens...there are other ways of donating to charities. This is a poor excuse of claiming that they are going to donate 100% to charity, which last night on Nancy Grace, the president of Showbiz Promotions stated that he wasn't sure how much of profits would be donated because he hadn't sold any yet....Please pass this on, through myspace, facebook, other blogs, we all need to speak up for this little girl! Thank you.

Posted 01/27/2009 at 02:41:41 PMThe merchandising of murder -- victims and suspects -- is apparently gaining in popularity. I'm surprised these folks limited themselves to just the doll. Maybe they wanted to see how that would fly first. What were they thinking?
Unfortunately, whatever it may be, they are not alone. For Amanda Knox, suspected of involvement in the brutal murder of her British roommate Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy, merchandise sold online includes coffee mugs, teddy bears, baseball caps, t-shirts and lots more. They all say Free Amanda Knox beneath a photo of Amanda.
Posted 01/27/2009 at 04:40:30 PMIf they wanted to make a doll that would actually sell, why didn't they just make a Casey Anthony VooDoo Doll? I sure would have bought one and would have stuck every pin in the house in it!
:-(
Posted 01/27/2009 at 06:52:45 PMThis is the most evil thing I have ever heard of. Profiting from a murderered child? I don't know how these people can sleep at night. I hope the Anthony's sue these idiots.
Posted 01/27/2009 at 09:34:19 PMHas anyone checked out the website? They have only POSITIVE comments posted, they probably made them up themselves. They are also selling t shirts and yellow wrist bands. There was a lawyer on tv who said the Anthony's didn't have a lawsuit case against this guy because it wasn't a "close enough likeness" to the real Caylee. PLEASE!! Her name is on the shirt, and she sings the song. What more do you need. I say sue the bastard.
Posted 01/27/2009 at 10:59:32 PMI THINK IT IS SICK FOR MAKING A DOLL LIKE THIS WHAT ARE YOU OUT FOR BLOOD MONEY.THEY SHOULD SHUT DOWN THERE FACTOR FOR DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS .TURN THE TABLES AROUND AND WHAT IF YOU WERE THE GRANDFATHER AND YOU WERE SITTING THERE AND WATCHING SOMETIHING LIKE THIS WHAT WOULD YOU DO?CAYLEE HAS NOT BEEN BURIED AND YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY FROM HER.IF ANYTHING YOU SHOULD BE BEHIND BARS JUST LIKE CASEY IS FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING.LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF HER AT THE TABLE AND SINGING AND YOU ARE SITTING IN A CHAIR LISTENING TO HER.HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL IN YOUR HEART.COULD YOU REALLY GO TO WORK AND TRY AND SELL THOSE DOLLS TO PEOPLE AND FEEL NOTHING.

Posted 01/28/2009 at 01:22:05 AMThank you Steve, I do realize and appreciate that you are writing ABOUT this. To clarify - I was writing directly to JS. I know he and his minions are reading this, because they corrected the spelling within an hour or 2 after my entry was posted. I totally agree with you and every person commenting here how awful and depraved that money-hungry doll company is.
By the way Jan in Santa Fe, if you look on Ebay, you will find Casey Anthony VooDoo Dolls; one starts bidding at $29.99!
