Anything For A Buck

I was watching the news last night and on one of the local news stations they have a guy, Ken Schram, that does commentaries on things around the world or locally. This subject just got to me.

He tells how how these new trading cards are coming out that have to do with the victims of 911. WTF? TRADING CARDS?!!! I know they had ones along time ago for Serial Killers and that is sick also. This isnt a good way to have people remember family and loved ones. Its has to do with money and explotation. He says in the article that the families will get 8% and the rest of the money goes to the guy that thought of the idea for the Trading Cards.

"Ill trade you my dead Firefighter for your dead Policeman", SICK!!! Man this makes our country look so bad! It shows that we are out for a profit. Make a statue, scholarships, funds or something not profit off them! I hope nobody carries these and shows them that there are lines that just shouldnt be crossed.

Here is the article and video of his discussion

"I don't know who's worse: The guy who hit on this anything-for-a-buck scheme, or the families who sold the rights for their loved ones to be used this way. "-Ken Schram

Both in my mind
