Mike Vick Will Do Anything For A Dollar

Florida’s attorney general is suing a company that makes a dog toy that looks like Michael Vick and is named after the suspended NFL star.

The lawsuit filed Thursday claims Showbiz Promotions said it would give proceeds from the sale of the dog chew toy to animal shelters, but never made any donations.

The lawsuit claims the Jacksonville-based company also sold a doll named for slain toddler Caylee Anthony and promised to give proceeds to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The lawsuit says only $10 has been donated.

A phone number could not be found for the company or its owner, Jaime Salcedo. An e-mail was not immediately returned.

Vick is serving prison time for bankrolling a dogfighting operation in Georgia and Virginia.

    Anybody that is against Mike Vick is stupid… The last Vice president shot a friend in the face while hunting. Not hunting for food to survive, hunting for sport. Wake the f**k up people!!!!!!!!! Cruelty to animals??? What about cruelty to niggas?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GoinabilityINC/ GoinabilityINC

    I truly enjoy reading the comments of some of my folks. It just shows how far gone in the mental we are when it comes to sticking together. Shout-out to shilee1 for mentioning the lady with the chimp. They warned her the chimp was getting too strong and she didnt listen until he bit that woman’s face off. She was stupid anyway, she gave the warnings but tried to hang out with him anyway. She said he moved a centerblock with one finger like it was a soda can. Need we say more? The NFL better let Vick back in for this upcoming season….

    Thank you fellow Virginians, for standing up for Mike.

    It’s a shame that this company is exploiting people in their time of pain and crisis, such as Little Kayle Anthony and Michael Vick.
    This company deserves to be sued. Micheal vick doll in a prison suit being chewed by a dog…..this country is in such a mess.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/aggie87crazy/ aggie87crazy

    You’ve got to be ishing me… Who is the maker of this toy. They OUGHT to get sued for being tasteless. Wonder how many people bought it and where it was sold. Probably online, because if any store that sold it risks getting burned down, dont care where the store is. I’m just sayin…I’m tired of this ish. F a picket, f a protest…burn that mofo down.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ramses_NY/ Ramses_NY

    Micheal Vick is a scapegoat, for americans hypocritical ignorance. This black man, has served time for allegedly harming dogs. Yet police officers murder blackmen on the streets of the US, and get off yearly.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    Amerikkka is disgusting…How did we prosecute M. Vick for dog fights and we are currently paying the previous president for screwing us for 8 LONNNGGG years!! Priorities is all i gotta say…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/READY36/ READY36

    i wonder if things would b the same such as the dolls,and the imprisoment. if it was a WHITE MAN that did the dog fighting. mmmmmm i think F**KING NOT………….ppl r suck f**king idiots sometimes. i wish ppl would use what god stuck n there heads. like your freakin brain duhhhhhhhhh.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/naeantionette/ naeantionette

    u kno…that is the biggest crop of bulls**t eva raised. who would not arrest the poeple behind this and make them suffer all the same as mike? in my eyes these guys are worse than mike, hell that kind of bull would NOT go on in the type of community that i live in

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sweet_hospitality/ sweet_hospitality

    LOL!!! I think its hilarious, everybody always playin the race card. If African Americans would stop doing nicca stuff we wouldn’t have anything to b%&#$ and complain about!!all that money and fighting dogs, he deserve to go to jail for being a dumb azz!! But on the serious tip, they should be ashamed for exploiting tha little girl

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MsRain_/ MsRain_

    umk smh what vick did was wrong as well as c**k fights and other animal fights that go on…on this side the planet but the doll was uncalled for and i believe if he did not give them permission to use his name i suppose he could sue? “is there a lawyer in view”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nysugarbear2002/ nysugarbear2002

    My people are always playing the race card….sad “what if mike vick was white???” it would still be wrong. Animal creulty is disgusting. perhaps African American people would act correct, there wouldn’t be any reason to cry “ITS CAUSE I’M BLACK” because 90% of the time its not the case. If you feel you’re being targeted, act right and do 110% so no one can say anything.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2daTopnonStop/ 2daTopnonStop

    They should get in trouble. Not for the toy, but for not donating the money like they said they would…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TheTypeToWife/ TheTypeToWife

    I agree with sweet_hospitality. I could care less about the mike vick dolls, that s**t was funny but the little girl and only donating $10?? That’s f**ked up. It’s 2009 my fellow african americans lol we gotta stop actin a fool like that.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nysugarbear2002/ nysugarbear2002

    playing the race card does nothing but discredit our people. White people no longer have sympathy for for what happened 400 years ago. Theres been enough affirmative action to raise the damn dead. And where are most African american males? not college but correctional facilities.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/neecy_girl/ neecy_girl

    yeah, it isn’t a race thing- it’s hilarious! but the little girl toy? wtf!

    this world is getting crazier and crazier. how can people actually think that this mess is okay dang the man is doing his time for what he did you don’t have to keep bringing it up let it go and how dear this person try to profit off of other ppl situations thats just dead wrong now if Micheal Vick was doing this himself then it wouldn’t be a problem but it’s ignorant people. let it go the man is serving his time.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Dapper82/ Dapper82

    FREE MIKE VICK.
    UNJUSTIFIED PUNISHMENT

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jbull21217/ jbull21217

    leave the man alone. its said that people value the life of a puppy over human life.. he was wrong and he is paying for it but the bigger problem is animal lover place more importance over the life of a dog than their on grandmother. leave the man alone.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pretty-cp/ pretty-cp

    LOL. This is hilarious! A Michael Vick chew toy. I have to get one for my family dog. Unfortunately some dogs are more civilized than humans thus the carry more importance to many people. Every living thing should be treated with care. Whether it is human or not. To God Be The Glory.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Boss30Lyfe/ Boss30Lyfe

    He made a mistake leave that man alone thats why hes comin Back to The Nfl and doin what hes is best at. Its ok for them white folks to kill dear and all them other hunted animals, but when Vick hurts a dog yall suckas wanna kill em get yo s**t straight.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/yung170090/ yung170090

    There people dieing by the hour and ya’ll messing with the guy about some dogs. He’s paying his dept to society, which he did to long. If he found it in his heart to repent to God who cares what people say. Mike Vick gonna get out and I hope the brother has peace with God, because the only one’s gonna be stressing are those who constantly try to persecute him. Remember if you can’t forgive him, God won’t forgive you. Vick you are ok with me homie.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/viixiigfl/ viixiigfl

    First of all I love animals but this is getting out of hand he deserved his punishment and he’s serving his time. He’s been punished for his crime. Now PETA dressed up as Klansmen but I don’t hear anything about that and they haven’t been punished for their racist transgressions against the African American community. I’m from MS and there are people that have terrifying…horrifying stories and memories of what the KKK has done to black people in the south. So to hell with PETA until they’re punished for dressing up like Klansmen they have no right to speak out against anyone about punishment. Mike Vick’s life is in the toilet right now he lost millions and served his entire sentence. He even had a very publicized apology no matter how sincere at least he was man enough to admit his wrongdoing. PETA dresses up like the Klan and parades around like theirs doesn’t stink. So if you kill a dog your the sc** of the Earth but if you dress up like an old southern terrorist organization that killed human beings its ok??? I’m a VT fan from the heart but Vick let me down but he’s been punished and whether I like him or not he only has to redeem himself to him and his loved ones not me not PETA nor any of these other overly obsessed dog lovers out there. You all see these pageants. These people spend thousands on these animals and treat them better than human children. I watch these dog shows btw and there are next to no pitbulls in any of them! The staffordshire terrier is the closest breed you’ll see. Only God can judge Michael Vick because only God will be just with His judgement. But what do I know I’m just some nigga from MS.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kingcoke/ kingcoke

    Again I say F**K THAT!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CocoaCarolina/ CocoaCarolina

    LOL this is funny but I would NEVER let either of my dogs chew on a man…..especially a black man! (A good one is already too hard to find!) But seriously they need to give him a break, he has served his time and HEEELLLOOOOOO what about PETA dressed like the KK I agree viixiigfl.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/dizzyangeltn/ dizzyangeltn

    This whole thing is just lame. I live in East Tn, and I swear they still have dog fights, and c**k fights, and all that other ignorant s**t in the basements of nasty redneck houses, but you don’t see any of those inbred bastards serving hard time!! I know that they are making an example out of Micheal Vick to prove a point, but I just don’t think it’s right. I mean I’ve got a dog, and I would fight over her, so I don’t think that dog fighting is cool, or even ok…but damn man..its not like he was fighting toddlers or immigrants!! Whatever though…the chew toy ain’t that bad.. I think its kinda funny. They’ve got Snoop Dogg headphone chew toys, and a Micheal Vick one is just another ironic, silly chew toy. The one that really pisses me off is that the same company had a chew toy made in the name of Caylee Anthony! I mean c’mon now…Who the f**k is sick enough to think its ok to make a chew toy out of a murdered little girls tradgedy!!! Thats what’s f**ked up in this whole scenario. Micheal Vick’s a big boy…he can handle it….but whoever the hell came up with the idea, and anyone who bought a chew toy based on the death of a little girl should be beat into a coma…and the day they wake up…be beaten again!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DaddyNine/ DaddyNine

    Vick should get paid because they use his image and his name..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Juniormints05/ Juniormints05

    Again, one way on how somehow people see things so screwed up. We seen it all the time, Vick is in jail for ALLOWING dog fights on his property. Stuff liek tht is still going on, but the people make Vick seem as if he started dogfighting in the world like he is the Hitler of aminal abuse. GO TO ANIMAL PLANET AND WATCH THE ANIMAL PRECINT. youll see people in starving, abusing, mutilating, and killing their pets. Ignorant.

    ITS JUST LIKE THE WHITES DID THE SLAVE..MAKE THEM C**K FIGHT TIL THE DEATH. BEAT US RAPED US, BURNED US, AND MADE US KILL ONE ANOTHER FOR SPORT.

    AMERICA IS A WICKED NATION ON ITS WAY TO DEVINE DESTRUCTION…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SUMMER_SO_FINE/ SUMMER_SO_FINE

    Huhhh, to my people, remember, it was never intended for us to have anything or get anything out of this country. (hence we brought over for slavery) Therefore, when God blesses us by bringing us out of the valley to the mountain, be wise of the choices you make. White America is looking for every reason POSSIBLE to destroy the image of our black men and women. So why give them a reason. There is so much out there to be done to occupy our spare time then engage in foolishness. I type this even unto myself, “Let’s think people.” I ask myself, wonder if instead fighting for freedom and liberty amongst our people, where would we be if King, X, Garvey, etc… was out dog fighting? How would we be forgiven for our sins if Jesus was out c**k fighting instead of sacrificing for us?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bflexinlexus/ bflexinlexus

    yea this is really about race!! think about it. at one point the government was trying to ban pit bulls off the planet. saying they are mean and aggressive. hell thats what they are bred to be…think about it the term pit bull. they were bred to be put into pits and fight! and it was they white man who invented it. and they still have secret fights going on across the country. but when mike vick was caught up all hell was out! he’s black rich and famous. let’s destroy the nigga. all the sudden pit bulls are loved by animal lovers the same one’s who wanted to abolish the breed. let’s cut the chase here….white people wanted to abolish pit bulls because black american males loved the breed. it is most young african american males breed of choice. note they also don’t like rotts, or dobermanns.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/burgstyle82/ burgstyle82

    LOL That chew toy is pretty funny.

    Vick has no one to blame but himself, this is all his fault. If someone paid me $120 million to play football I wouldn’t have anyone around me or my property doing illegal shyt. When you’re young, rich and black you have a target on your back. The police/feds don’t want to see a black man with that kind of money LEGALLY, any minor indiscretion will get top billing. All he had to do was play football. Just like Pacman Jones he wanted to be a thug, now he is doing what thugs do. Serve time.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CALAMITY2002/ CALAMITY2002

    Lets all just agree that this is bulls**t. Many people currently in the NFL and past players have gotten away with MURDER and were still allowed to have a career in the sport, and they actually killed someone. Mike Vick = Scapegoat/Poster child for animal cruelty. PLEASE.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Mainey415/ Mainey415

    Stupid is what stupid does. He got ratted out and took the weight. He can still go to the hood even if he makes another 20 mil. Those who told on him and got probation and light sentences lost their ghetto passes. Mike Vick hold your head, don’t let these hipocrates in today’s society hold you down and hopefully when you get out of prison you will continue to pursue your dreams and move forward in life. Misery loves company, like its uncommon for pit bulls to bred for fighting in the first place. Come on now, get real you fukkin rs.

    How is it cruelty when you allow an animal to exhibit its original nature? We have chimps snatching people’s faces off, and tigers almost taking people’s lives; why? Because we call ourselves domesticating and treating an animal better than it would be in its natural and original habitat-the wild! PETA and this dog freak should be arrested; along with Paris hilton, and any other person that has taken a dog and put it in frilly baby/doggy clothes and treated it like a baby, best friend or some other human they wish they had a connection with. Dogs fight!! Get OVER it!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sing_On_Flute/ Sing_On_Flute

    First,, dogs were used to hunt Black people from one continent to another, and kill Africans there and here as recently as 1967 We have watched German Police dogs Shepard’s rip Black people apart on national TV,, live and in color..Who went to jail when the Tiger leap out his enclosure and killed or almost killed person, who has gone to jail when a Monkey ripped the face off a Woman? No, instead chimp pic’s are posted making fun of our President! We are still being used to capitalize on weather it’s Michel Vick’s dolls for dogs to chew on, or prosecuted and imprisoned for dog fights, a fine or suspension house arrest, maybe, but not prison that caused bankruptcy..Prison this country is sick,, and Black people are sick of it…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Beauty463/ Beauty463

    Here’s the thing, yes he messed up and now he has learned his lesson. I know he’s going to bounce back. There has been other celebrity’s to mess up and they didn’t make such a BIG deal about it. Grow up people and get a life. He’s BACKKKK. Show them Vick what you got.Keep your head up and STUNT my brother.

    Sing_on_a_flute, are you serious?

    First of all, domesticated dogs don’t hunt “black” people on their own. They are taught that, by people. Yep, “the King of the Jungle” shindog.

    Don’t even try to make this the fault of the dog’s, a properly raised dog, is loyal and loving. Even if you beat them. They do services no other animal can do, seeing eye dogs, service dogs, rescue dogs, drug and bomb sniffing dogs that help our soldiers in battle.

    That’s right, I won’t be happy until dogs have the same rights as people, because every living being has a right to live their lives in peace. For gods sake, they have been with us for eons.

    By-the-way, it is a fact that people who torture animals have a connection with becoming serial killers. Don’t belive me? google it.
