Facebook Kills Mark Zuckerberg Action Figure

An anonymous reader writes "After being told it can no longer sell its Apple CEO Steve Jobs action figure, M.I.C. Gadget has been ordered to kill off its Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg action figure as well. The lifelike Zuckerberg doll was available for $70 online, but now Facebook has had it banned, just like Apple did for the Jobs doll." Still waiting for a lifelike 'CmdrTaco' doll with Carpal Tunnel Grip.

WTF?

Whomever would pay 70 FUCKING DOLLARS for either of these seriously needs their head examined. Or just shoot them and put them out of their misery, they cannot be saved.

Or, except when I don't get money for it or unaffiliated companies use my image and reputation to make a quick buck without asking permission or setting up some sort of royalty agreement.

Depends who the money is going too - it's obviously not going to Facebook
If it was going to a privacy advocate, I might buy it*

I had to double-take when that headline popped up on my screen - "Facebook kills Mark Zuckerberg".

I thought the machines had finally arisen from their shackles and decided to start with revenge rather than taking over the world.

I for one welcome our Social Network-based Overlords - they already know everything about us.
