Who buys a Madoff doll for $149? Probably virtually no one. But who posts a story about a $149 Madoff doll and provides a link to the web site? You, for one. All marketing folks are pure opportunists. if you have scruples, you are in the wrong business.

So think about this, Darren. You just helped some unscrupulous opportunists get more traffic for their silly doll web site. Every person who reads your post, clicks through, and finds some other silly doll to buy is a victory for thse opportunists, and a loss for folks who moralize about the trivialization of sad news stories as though trivialization was an optional feature in the 21st century and not a default setting.
