R.I.P. Bettie Page - General Tiki

They are vultures of the dead, and it is a long story, but they basically befriend and con celebrities who are eccentric, or have no next of kin, by telling them they will control their likeness and make money for them while they are alive. The company also owns their likeness and their rights forever, after they are deceased. Check out the class act of CMG selling Bettie Page funeral brochures for $40 a pop. They NOW since added they are donating 10k to Jackie Robinson Foundation, but with all of the lawsuits they have opened on artists and "bootleg" merchandise, they can afford it. They didn't have the 10k donation on the site at first. I called them direct and let them know how I felt, after I was denied going to the cemetary to pay respects DAYS after. It is a private cemetary, almost a sideshow/tourist trap with other celebrities buried like Marilyn Monroe(Another CMG victim), Dean Martin and more recent Farrah Fawcett among many others. https://www.cmgbrands.com/bettiestore/index.php/catalog/category/view/id/32 If this isn't douchebaggery, I don't know what is...making a living off of the dead, just like vultures do. I am still a huge fan of Bettie, and Olivia, and own some works, but no longer buy merch that CMG has any control or ownership in.
