Just as weird: sending death threats to a black man with the same name.
Well apparently he named TWO of his sons after himself, so I say he deserves whatever he gets.
As Ferret Herder said, it was more of a, “HEY GUIZ, NOT DEAD YET!” sort of thing. My mom doesn’t email me, but she does check my Facebook. 
All parents. Same with another friend I just double checked with. What we both agree on is that all the people we see doing this are. . . well, not folks we’d hold up as amazing parents. Bad parents? No. Great parents. . . not so much. My friend hypothesizes that they are over compensating for their questionable parenting choices.
George Foreman and his flock of Georges would like to have a word with you.
What, you mean all those grills? 
I have no problem saying that I think Anthony did it, that the jury should have been able to convict, and that any justice system that makes them feel like they can’t is messed up, but this? WTFIWWY, people?
What The Fuck Is Wrong With You. It’s an Internet show.
This…
There are certain cases that I shy away from and really do not want to any of the detail. I close my mind to it because I am well aware of the horrific depravities humans can sink to. The detail would merely colour my already active imagination and bring me to tears. I recall reading this story at my desk and when I reached the part about the other rucksack full of toys I had to go to the bathroom to compose myself…I caught a wave of it again just now as I type.
I have a four and five year old and anything like this is simply too close to home.
I don’t need to wallow in outrage or sadness, that’s a given. I can’t get my head around those who behave in the way the OP describes.
Facts…we don’t need no stinkin’ facts.
I didn’t follow the case at all and wonder what will be the next manufactured outraged case that takes over the media to blow this off the front page.
I for one **AM **absolutely incensed
that I didn’t know about Hello Kitty duct tape until now.
I have no interest in Casey Anthony. But I do have a lot of people on Facebook that creep me out.
I’ve mentioned my first friend in the States, whom I met when I was four. He’s now a Teabagger, believes Obama was born in Kenya, that Obama is a Secret Muslim™, etc. A girl I had the hots for in high school is the same (and living in Arizona). A lot of my old classmates sent friend requests, and being a semi-nice guy I allowed them. They’re all conservatives and religious.
See, this is why I rarely visit my Facebook account.
I can relate on being creeped out by this. I know a few people on facebook who’ve started using Caylee’s picture as their profile picture.
Tell them not to kill their kids. Then all will be well.
I think it’s terrible, but it’s just one kid in one country in one state in one city in one neighborhood and I don’t know any of them. Why is this national news?
If you’re going to dwell on the death of every stranger your life is not going to be very happy.
My facebook status a day or so after the verdict was briefly “I don’t give a fuck about Caylee or Casey Anthony and you can’t make me.”
Seriously, it did get creepy up in there for a few days.
Exactly. What happened to that little girl is sad, but it’s not important. Thousands of children die every day, often horribly, and generally preventably. If you don’t care about any of them, why do you care about this one? It’s bullshit, and it pisses me off.
See, THIS is the creepiest of creepy to me. It’s a dead kid you have zero relation to and it’s your profile picture? Jesus titty fucking Christ.
That is, frankly, terrifying.
I saw it at Target and HAD to have some. I’ve already put it to good use.
Sorry for the hijack.
I knew what this was going to be about before I opened the thread. It’s a sad case and I think the jury blew it, but the reactions got creepy the second the verdict came out. Not a lot of my Facebook friends did this kind of thing, but a couple did.
I know one person doing that, and yes, that’s also creepy. The worst was this thing, which feels all kinds of wrong:
It’s worse than that. People are Photoshopping pictures of Caylee and Jesus, Casey’s dad dressed as Superman holding Caylee, etc etc. It’s so CREEPY.
Then there are Facebook groups dedicated to planting a tree for Caylee, etc etc. SO WEIRD.
Oh, yeah, I’ve seen this and it’s beyond creepy. I assume it’s the ‘power grieving’ thing people like to do.
“Oooh, I care more than you! I posted about Caylee!”
“No, I care more than you! I made her picture my profile picture!”
