For those who chose to slurp on my spits & spats you will recall then on Monday I noted that there's a web site selling a dog chew toy with Michael Vick's name and likeness. Also in that tasting rant I mentioned how it was probably not going to last long on the market given if Vick, before the NFL nixed, it…For they could most likely sue to stop sales of this product since it uses Vick's name and likeness and a Falcons jersey without permission. Really, if you didn’t get a chance to read it click the link now and do so before your dog gets hung, drowned or electrocuted! Don’t do it for me, do it for the doggie’s sake! http://www.lastrowsports.com/2007/08/get-your-michael-vick-chew-toy-now.asp
Anyhow, good news which will make the pups worldwide happy…The toy is still available, just in a newer version. Man, I thought collecting all of the Happy Meal toys were a monumental task. They at least last five days with the same toy until the supply runs out…This didn’t even reach point. Although I forgot, we all dealing in dog years here! To view the next generation of the Vick Doggie Chew Toy just have ole mousey click http://www.vickdogchewtoy.com/. As one can clearly see (well, that is if the particular person can read beyond the first line of an eye chart) and it no longer has a Falcons jersey. The face also looks less like Vicks. Now it's just some random guy wearing a shirt with a 7 on it and holding a football. Why, it’s not Michael Vick, it looks like something that one gets when Ron Mexico and Ookie take part in "The Amazing Butterfly" act…(And if you don’t know what that is, all I can say is no wonder why the ball & chain isn’t ever happy with you!)
So this new toy really now has no reference to Vick…Sure they're still using Vick's name to sell the toy. Although with the removal of the Falcons jersey, it just looks like your typical African-American doggie chew toy! Oh man, I’ve done it now…Jessie Jackson will want to hang my ass for that comment! Speaking of him, with no real affiliation to Vick and/or the Falcons anymore…Could this be considered a Jessie Jackson holding a football chew toy? An O.J. Simpson chew toy? No, it can’t be O.J….There’s no knives! Maybe a Marcus Vick one? While this was a good idea, having to change the look to appease the NFL, really doesn’t do the toy justice…All the fun has been deflated by the No Fun League. However, according to the site… " Back orders are now being accepted for shipping beginning September 7th 2007". So in case yours doesn't arive in a timely fashion, but be alarmed...Don't fill out a "Missing Doggie Chew Toy Report!. I have one question, how does one know he’s getting a true Michael Vick Chew Toy now? What’s the difference between a Michael Vick one and a Marcus Vick one? Ever think of the people? Or is Marcus just associated with Hasbro’s Super Jock? Hasbro inked him to their exclusive rights.
Just goes to show how many dumbasses there are in this county. And the poll question they have on the site asking is just as maybe even fruitier! "Do you think the "Vick Dog Chew Toy" will help bring awareness to animal abuse?" The responding number of votes is off the hizzle, my nizzle! Midday the vote counter registered at a whopping 12335 votes…Good to see the voters who stuffed the "Who’s Now" ballot box have taken their mouse clicking techniques to some other site. Allow me to take this opportunity to thanks for the much love that my Pick’em Poll received…Which incidentally I might add has registered an astronomical nine votes in two weeks! Thanks for the love, peeps! Why don’t you just kick my dog while you’re at it! Perhaps if I try to beat myself with a baseball bat, drown or electrocute myself maybe then I’ll get more love? And of course with that there very well could the first annual LastRowSports.com Doggie Chew Toy in my honor! Although I fail to see how some chew toy will help bring awareness to animal abuse. That’s like asking if a crackhead chew toy will bring awareness to crackheads…What, is an alcoholic chew toy going to raise awareness to all the 24/7 drunks out there? Um, yeah, most likely not! God, you gotta love Corporate America, don’t you?
