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.

I'll bet you $999,900 that the winning bidder never pays.
@ ATG, you are so right...
Exactly, this isn't news. CNN's "journalists" are a joke. Don't be surprised when you're jobless sitting at home blogging, because that's all this junk is.
wouldnt pay $20 for head from casey
Unless maybe it was her real head...
HER MOM IS A MILF AND HALF MMMMMMMMMMMMM
This is rediculous... money like that could be used on more important things in life that would actually make a difference not this garbage.
And this my friends is a microcosm of what's wrong with this world. So many starving and another so rich that they can spend a million dollars on a piece of latex. We are doomed.
I ould suggest "this Country" rather than this world. Good Post though!!
Gonna be very difficult to put the control of the govt. And those elected back into the hands of "we the people".
Corporate spending, lobby influence and control, are pervasive in Both parties and at many levels of government in the US.
Wow, That's freaking creepy...I had goose bumps when looking at it....
I bet some get rich quickie is going to start pumping out these masks for Halloween... for kids even... SMH
This is as close as you can get for someone that wants her head on a silver platter
so glad about those tax breaks.
Perfect likeness of her super ugly self!
This is worst than Caucasians thinking Elvis is still alive in Las Vegas.
That's.. kinda funny and kinda sad. I'm white-colored and I believe that Elvis is dead. How about you come up with some other analogy that doesn't allow you to pull the racist card?
its doubtful that the winner will pay. in a high publicity case like this, people run up the bis for fun
What do morals have to with it? His money right, besides he needed it for his Sunshine doll.
I bet there's a mouth hole cut in it within a week. 🙂
BAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........BAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA........BAHA......HAHA....HA!!!! Whew.....
Don't know what is more disturbing. The mask itself or that someone would shell out that kind of money to buy such a ridiculous item.
The later is far more scary, what a waste of money.
I'll sell casy anthony's actual head for only 500K, what a bargain! Rubber masks only 100K, and 50K each if you buy 3.
...the winning bid was $999,900, but that doesn't mean that the winning bidder actually PAID. I don't think they will pay. they might get suspended from eBay for non-payment.
