Just when you think the McCanns are done squeezing blood from a stone .....?

Question

Take a look at their online store.

http://store.bringmadeleinehome.com/acatalog/Posters.html

Get a poster to help find Madeleine at the low low price of just 10p.

They are charging for posters now???

EDIT: It gets better, I didnt read the fine print which says.

"This item may only be selected with another purchase."

And since the only other item is a Maddy wristband, you cant even buy the poster without buying the wristband.

HAHAHA .......... these guys cant be for real. Someone tell me its April 1!

EDIT: Janey - Yeah I just saw that (see above edit I wrote at the same time as you lol). Unbelievable huh? Honestly, you couldnt make it up ........

Trish - Have a dig through my previous questions. Ive already picked up on the date. Personally I think its just a default date put there by the company that designs the shopping cart and doesnt mean anything but hey, it could be another piece of the puzzle ;)

Answer 1

OMG cheeky gets it also says this next to the buy now button :

This item may only be selected with another purchase.

Answer 2

Sparki2005, you honesty think that you can by paying 10p for a poster you are doing anything to help find that child?

Wake up. This is exactly why the fund has nearly a million pounds in it. People feel helpless, and want to do something, so they feel that by donating to the fund, or buying a wristband or poster they have 'done their bit' to help find her.

In reality, the ONLY people who have a chance of finding out what happened to that girl are the police, and other professionals - forensic teams, sniffer dogs, etc. And they don't get a penny from the fund. The 'reward' has yielded nothing, nobody has seen her, and nobody is coming forward with information. It's all down to the forensics now.

Answer 3

I believed the purpose of the fund was to provide means to find Madeleine, posters being one of the tools being used, how can they charge for the poster then? And worse still you have to buy a bangle?
What exactly is the "Fund" being used for? It doesn't seem to be being used to find Madeleine. And given that the police believe Madeleine died on May 3rd, shouldn't the fund be closed? Whats its purpose now (If it ever had a purpose)?

Answer 4

Yet another SPAM false "question" designed to keep the hate pot boiling. WHAT is wrong with you? 10s of 1000s of questions all very similar and perhaps 30,000 low level witless "answers" all to keep hate going against a family who have lost a child. I will never understand you "people"

Answer 5

so they use money donated to them, by the public to print the posters, and they want the public, to buy them back of them, and put them up allover the world for them?
its amazing what they are expecting from the public, when they would not look after their children, and never even looked for the child themselves. unbelievable !

Answer 6

You should read about the fund!

One of the things it said, is to help support the McCann family!

Support them in what????

And another quote "to provide support, including financial assistance, to Madeleine's family"

I thought they were not using the fund for themselves?

Oh Lordy!

Answer 7

It says on the home page that all money paid goes to the Madeleine fund.

Answer 8

Have you seen the date at the bottom of the page ? Does this mean anything ???

Answer 9

werent they handing out posters for free a couple of weeks ago?? they mustve thought "we could be making money off of this aswell, lets sell them instead"

must be aprils fools every day in Portugal.

Answer 10

I'm stunned
selling the posters?
Surely the idea is to publicise this to as many as possible?
What a contradiction
