Cashing In on Murder Victims

Dahlia_doll_02

Every so often, someone decides that what the world needs more than anything else is a grisly "Black Dahlia" doll.

This one is offered by a vendor named "dolls and dead things" and started life as a Barbie. I already complained to EBay about this item, which exploits a victim of violence, but it remains listed. I can't imagine this doll conforms with EBay's purported "community values," but as always, the site is unresponsive to complaints about prohibited material. 

The vendor says that 10% of the price of this doll goes to help deployed members of the military and their families. The vendor also says:
"All bones, both animal and human, used in our pieces are obtained legally, safely and with no harm coming to any living thing. It is safe and legal to own and wear human bone items. There is some legality to transporting human remains into Georgia and Tennessee but no other US states have similar laws."

Gee, I feel so much better.

    Who IS this sicko? Wherever did he get the idea of making these unspeakable items? Even worse, what does it say about people who would actually consider buying them?
