Michael Vick doggy chew a best-seller

It's white. It's woolly. It's star-shaped. Its little face is not smiling.

It's labeled "Michael Vick," which is how you know this is a "Michael Vick Chew Toy."

And it's the top-selling item at Doggie Style, Ira Goldfarb's Old City-based chain of 9 pet-themed novelty shops, which is looking for new sites outside the Philadelphia region.

"He's sold 1,000 of those in the past three weeks," says Goldfarb's publicist, George Polgar.

    Pretty much tells you about the mentality of the Vick haters...I'd like to suggest some more Vick "money making" ideas for these whackos.........1. A Vick Po*per Scooper...2. Vick Kittylitter...3. Little Vick fish pellets.....4. Vick doggie bisquits.....5. Vick mechanical pacers for the dog track(instead of the rabbits). 6. Vick "fox sweaters" for the chase.... 7. Vick "antagonist" suits for training the K9 patrol.... 8. Vick rubber sticks for tossing and retrieving...There are so many possibilities.

    Not illegal... look at how many people have bumper stickers against Bush or Obama. I think this just goes to show how many people are really against Vick playing for the Eagles. People don't just "DESERVE" second chances, people have to "EARN" second chances and just doing mandatory time does not do that. Doctors/Lawyers/other professionals don't get to automatically go back to their profession right after they get out of jail!
