August 9, 2007 - You’re not supposed to be “innocent” until proven guilty in the court of public opinion, but the severe blows laid to Michael Vick’s image keep coming and the trial hasn’t even started yet. The newest exploitation of the hot mess comes from vickdogchewtoy.com, apparently designing the toy in Vick’s spittin’ image in order to “give every dog a little payback.”
This toy is a long time coming, considering how upset the dogs in my neighborhood have been since Vick’s dog graveyard was discovered. Michael Vick has yet to go to trial, but the evidence is so damning that it seems no one is questioning his guilt. As the Animal Abuse Awareness Group’s website explains, there’s no question that this situation has raised public awareness of the horrors of underground dog fighting.

I hate the fact that if the animals involved in this scandal were pigs or bulls, only farmers would be giving a shit. I love dogs, but dog lovers piss me off. By the way, that is just a plastic black man wearing the number 7.
