When you're dead money still counts.
“M” is for the million things she gave me
“O” means only that she’s growing old
“T” is for the tears she shed to save me
“H” is for her heart of purest gold
“E” is for her eyes with love-light shining
“R” means right and right she’ll always be.
Put them all together they spell MOTHER, a word that means the world to me.
I read somewhere here that Trayvon was in the morgue for three days before anyone thought to ask, “Hey! Where Trayvon at?”
The lawyers for the mothers of his kids will be seeking a cut of the movie rights
Right this minute, Rachel Corrie’s parents are kicking themselves.
I'd be naive if I didn't think money played a part in this. I'd also be naive if I didn't think a lawyer told her - quite reasonably - that her best means of policing the junk that people will inevitably sell with Martin's name and likeness on it is to get the trademark. She still has to hunt them down, and they may not respond to a cease-and-desist letter, but I would have told her to get the trademark
We're going to see him exploited for money by third parties just as we've seen him exploited for political points.
FWIW: The form was filed last Wednesday.

“hey! where dat “N word” (it’s Okay when they say it) Travon be at?”
Can’t pass up possibly making a buck off of her dead son.Real class act I see....
That would asl be before the story made the national news wouldn’t it? Interesting.....things that make you go HMMMMM?

“OK, lessee, we gots da shoe contrack from Nike, da NFL jersey contrack, da autograph bassaball contrack. Thassa good start. What ness? How bout the “NO_LIMIT_NIGGA” clothing line? Dat goan goot?”
speaking of which.... maybe she should also get a trademark on Trayvon’s Twitter name: “@NO_LIMIT_NIGGA” (Yes, this really was his Twitter name)
I think that #8 Cashing In, leapfrogged all the way to the 1st stage. Generational welfare, nanny-state socialists, entitlement mentality, black african-americans. Need we say anymore!
Just think, on the road he was headed there’s a pretty good chance he’d have just been a statistic.. One black teen killed by another black teen.
Now his Mom can rake in the big bucks on his fame.
This is one astute bereaved mother - and they say that black folks ain’t keeping up!
Word! This momma’s goin’ to New York City!
Dudes, ya think that a grieving ghetto momma would be smart enough to figure out the trademark angle? Hell, most of us certified uptown geniuses wouldn’t think of it. There is a clever by half shyster behind it, who? John Edwards, who needs new sources of income? Prolly some New York hustler named Bernie Schwartz, or Allen Klein or something. No matter, seriously, you are seeing the birth of a new industry, named after the Elvis Presley Enterprises (not owned anymore by anyone related to the late prescription drug addict) The Trayvon Martin Enterprises. Kinda nice sounding name. Like Rowan and Martin. Or Martin Guitar.
“Prolly some New York hustler named Bernie Schwartz, or Allen Klein or something.”
Kindly take your antisemetic insinuations out of here and stick to Stormfront. You’ll fit right in that place.
“Well we’re movin’ on up.....”
Heck, Casey Anthony “grieved” more for Caylee, than this woman has for Trayvon.
The insinuations and assumptions are all yours. Your advice is as usual cliched and unoriginal.
