The Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy

The images of superstar athletes appear on Jumbotron screens, cereal boxes and on millions of TV’s in our jock-worshipping country.
 
But few athletes are worthy of this Rock Star treatment; for every Hank Aaron who achieves incredible deeds through determination, hard work and god-given natural talent there are a hundred like Jose Canseco who achieve stardom through determination, charisma and natural talent enhanced by steroids.

Michael Vick is one of the sports stars least deserving of any praise; I would never buy a cereal box with his mug shot.

For everyone like me who is appalled at Vick’s reprehensible behavior in killing and torturing dogs, we can now get our revenge.

“In the wake of Vick’s federal indictment on dog-fighting charges, www.vickdogchewtoy.com is offering the ultimate opportunity for Fluffy to get his revenge.

According to the Web site, the Vick Dog Chew Toy — at $10.99 plus $2 shipping — will be available for delivery starting Tuesday…”

Quote from the Chicago Tribune

I have a Pit Bull/German Shepherd puppy, and she loves to chew on everything from my sneakers to my remote control. I plan on buying a Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy; I’m hoping that once Mandy gets a look at the ugly Michael Vick doll she won’t want to chew on anything else.
 
We need to stop putting players on a pedestal; too many of them deserve only the dog chew toy treatment.
