A big spender on eBay shelled out almost $1 million to get inside Casey Anthony's head.
A Los Angeles eBay user called "prophunter" wound up with six rubber renderings of Anthony's face that had been used in a parody video and put one of them up for auction on eBay. That first mask garnered a winning bid of $999,900 Wednesday. It beat out 104 other bids that started at $25 on Monday.
In the description field for the item, the seller billed it as "possibly the most frightening mask on the planet."
The mask's expression is, well, expressionless, capturing the image that became a national obsession over the course of Anthony's almost six-week trial for the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. Anthony was acquitted on July 5, drawing the vocal ire of crowds outside the courthouse, social media users and television personalities nationwide.
On HLN's Showbiz News Tonight on Wednesday, Popeater.com columnist Rob Shuter pronounced then-active bidding "tasteless, but it is capitalism."
For comparison's sake, the most expensive set of Charlton Heston's stone tablets from "The Ten Commandments" fetched $87,000 at Christie's in 1995, which would be a little more than $120,000 today.
there are people in this world that is hungary find something to do with your money besides wasting it on a rubber mask. their are proberly some poor people in your family stop wasting money.
This is a little bit of overkill....................everyone who was not there still has opinions that may not be valid............anyway..enough is enough.............CNN can do better than this.
It's not a real bid. Freaking idiots CNN...
go 2 hell.
go 2 hell. @ casey.
How much for a Casey Anthony target? It would get me back to the firing range.
Ralph:
I have extra ammo if you need it! Moron was found not builty because of the system ONLY! We have to respect that but it still does not sit well with me and many others. It this woman makes money off book deals and movie rights, this is a damn sick country and society to promote such actions and you KNOW they will!
I would buy the target.
There is also a "Casey Anthony Pet Rock" selling (and getting a bid for) $1,000,100). You should report on that too...
Capitalism! There we go – we can sell those masks for Halooween. Kids and real ghosts will be scared to death. Casey will not take anyone to court – she is in her cave lurking around for food at night.
ALL the guys that think she is so hot (barf!) now can get a mask and be happy!
Sounds like ALL the guys you know are tool boxes.
make 1 that shows her face smashed in
Do they make a Casey Anthony Blow Up Doll yet?
THE WINNER MUST HAVE MORE MONEY THEN BRAINS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"....then brains."? I assume you mean "...than brains."
I am so glad she got off. She is really hot
John, You are a NORON! She got off ONLY because of the damn court system! I would lilke YOU or anyone to tell me WHO did it if SHE didn't and you CANNOT!
R Dabney, I would like to get her off
R Dabney, I never said she was innocent just glad she got off. Good looking people should't go to jail. Jail is for ugly people.
YOU my friend are a DESPERATE person to want to get her off!!!!!!! Haven't you seen her in bars kissing WOMEN??? Are you blind or again a desperate fool?
Two chicks kissing!!!!! YEAH
You'd be talking differently if your ex wife had falsely accused you of child abuse. Be glad that (sometimes) you can't get convicted in this country without conclusive evidence.
Got an e-mail of the world's most "wanted" couple-– O J Simpson and Casey fondling each other–PRICELESS!!!! They belong together on earht and HELL!
R. Dabney, are you taking this guy seriously? He's obviously being sarcastic...
I think she is hot too...
lol really hot -i'm hot 4 a baby killer u ase wipe moron idiot dummy
I'm just glad they made it look ugly like her ole lord of the rings lookin ass
somewhat like pinnochio – except when she lies, her ears grow instead of her nose
With those ears, she can pick up radio FREE EUROPE and not need satellite!!!! Wonder if those ears heard the noises made when she killed her child and what that was like? Interesting thought.
I would love to nibble on those little ears.
This woman was found NOT GUILTY. And yet, is THE MOST ridiculed on earth. Two members of her jury have had to leave Orange County and hide out. Anything wrong with this scenario ???
No. gulilty people get off all the time. Those two jurors were running from their conscience. The police found no credible threats just the scorn they deserve. They were lazy and incompetant.
ya they went u live with the other 10 idiots
I've heard that some parents in the state of Florida are pondering murdering their children with the hope that they too would be acquitted and be given book and movies deals and the opportunity to become instant millionaires. My message to them is...Don't do it. There are more sane and legal ways to become a celebrity and a millionaire in Florida.
Great so what if her attorneys sue for using her image?
