Latex Casey Anthony mask fetches almost $1 million on eBay
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.

Americans can be so stupid.
do you pray to the invisible god, Allah? assuming you do with that name... if so, you couldn't be any dumber. keep praying to the sky.
Thanks for the news flash camel jockey...
Who said the buyer was American? Ever look at California is made up of a lot more than just Americans. In fact look around in any state! Who’s stupid now?
How dumb are you CNN?
Did Casey Anthony get anything out of them using her likeness??? Did she insure her likeness with Lloyd's of London?? She should not get a dime from any of this!!!
I can't believe anyone would pay that kind of money for something in such bad taste! It must be a lark or publicity stunt!
Could someone really be that stupid to pay $1M for a silly mask? I believe a lot of people bid but never actually follow through. What's next, the Norwegian murderer?
It's obviously a hoax, CNN's reporting is becoming weaker and weaker
Nope, Foxy Noxy Mash is next...lol!
Casey Anthonythanks the moron who bought this mask.She needed the money.Also by Halloween the market will be flooded with better mask.
all we ever get out of ANY media anymore is YELLOW JOURNALISM.
I doubt the winning bidder was legitimate. I think shills bid this up with fake accounts to prevent the actual sale, its happened before. A good method for those who don't want to see certain things get sold for abnormal profit.
kinda looks like my mom
At least you're alive to talk about it!
What next??? A full sizw blow up doll? I wish I had that much money to waste. Wouldn't be on her!
It's mind boggling to me that not everyone realizes this was a fake bid, you sir mind boggle me LOL
You could have one custom made for about a grand!
That mask would look good as a blonde.
Imagine answering the door on Halloween night wearing this thing.
Fake bids are fake.
I am not one to usually express my feelings for all to see, but I find this extremely distrubing and morally wrong. All society is doing is telling this person it is okay what you did and we will reward your bad behavior with money or publicity. Shame on us as Americans to tolerate this absurd behavior. That million dollars could have gone to a good cause....... our children. The ones hungry, battered, abused that can't help themselves. Twisted in every sense of the word.
Christy it was a fake bid.
This is absolutely disgusting. I can't believe someone would pay that amount for something so stupid. This money could have been used towards a chairty for missing children. What is wrong with people.
I think the only thing stupid are the people that do not realize this was a fake bid
Keep in mind a winning bid soesn't mean there is actually someone on the other end that is willing to pay for the goods. Anyone can bid 1 million dollars even someone who has 0 dollars. I like to think whoever bid this up that high has no intention of buying it (was disgusted by it being auctioned) and the person selling it will end up having to repost it over and over again.
Thank you captain obvious but in your defense you did a better jib explaining it than CNN did.
