| He's the Atlanta Falcons quarterback that is currently on trial for allowing dog fighting to take place at one of his properties in VA for the past couple of years..

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Too cool !! I wish I'd thought of it LOL - and Michael Vick is not only a dog fighter but a Dog KILLER. He did some horrible things to dogs all so HE could gamble |

| I'd have to play with the pins for a while, and then I'd give it to the dogs to tear up.

| I definitely don't condone what Michael Vick allowed to go on in his house and I am confident that he will be facing the consequences of those actions. But the doll, that's not right. I smell a lawsuit.

| While I totally agree this man should face the maximum reprimand the law should allow this doll truly upset me. I wrote the manufacturer about it as well. I don't know if too many of you remember......but there was a time in this country when African Americans were portrayed by men/women of other races in black face, bright red lips and untamed hair. I found this very offensive as it definitely seems like a reference to that time. |

| Well, you couldn't make a white Michael Vick doll since he's black and he has dreads....I don't think this has anything racial about it, just a doll with his football number on it. It's only too bad we can't stick pins in him!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I didn't even think it was about race at all - This country would be treating anyone the same if they did what he's accused of doing - white or black. But going back for a 2nd look - you just may be right - they didn't have to make it look like that. I think it's because he's famous that he's getting more exposure which can only be GOOD for dogs. Too bad they don't go after all the people that are involved in dog fighting the way the Feds did with him - but then again - there was lots of money involved and lots of dogs - Being famous may have it's drawbacks - but usually someones 'celebrity' works in their favor -

| While I think Michael Vick is disgusting, this doll truly offended me and made me sick to my stomach. This screems offensive and I think it's pretty obvious. For those who didn't see that the first time around they viewed it... well, take a harder look and think again. |
