Brand McCann: Buying Into Madeleine McCann
FROM Paulo Reis in Portugal:
The brand name “Madeleine’s Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned” will be a commercial brand, protected by law, soon. The managers of the campaign to find Madeleine have applied with the European Community Trademark Registration to protect the name “Madeleine’s Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned”. The request filled also asks for that trademark to be registered for social services providers and advising in cases of missing children. The registration of Madeleine’s trademark was requested on May 18, fifteen days after Madeleine McCann disappeared from her room, at the Ocean Club resort, in Praia da Luz, Algarve.
What will be sold in the shop? The Maddy Catty?

Certainly not the behaviour of normal parents.

“What will be sold in the shop? The Maddy Catty?”
Maybe McMind-altering drugs? How about Magic McMushrooms, which you can nibble on until you reach an altered-enough mindset to accept the McSpin as gospel?
And the very large caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland would become the very large real-life Auntie Phildo, the new gatekeeper to the McCann’s surreal world of make believe.

Unbelievable. Watch out Posh and Becks. Capitalising on their own daughter’s disappearance! When will this end?
September 16th, 2007 at 12:22 am
I have applied with the European Community Trademark Registration to protect the name “The 3rd Fund : Leaving No Evidence Behind”
Infact did that 2 days ago
Please give generously.

I keep on asking - when will the Mccann parents be charged with neglecting their children? Fancy leaving three under-4 children alone in the bedroom while parents are feasting and drinking hundreds of metres away in a bar? Unbelievable. Such people should be sterilized so they have no more children.

You know I heard this before from a different reporter’s article (American I think) and didn’t want to believe it. Reading it again from another non-Brit journalist I cannot imagine why it has not been reported by the British press if they are really doing their jobs with integrity? Especially considering they (UK media) have much closer ties to the McCanns, Tapas 7-8-9, UK legal contacts, the chairperson’s of the Madeleine Fund etc….
Very disturbing to see this dubious timing of this reuqest.
I know this is a humor site but I seriously ask with pained heart:
They never did care about finding her did they?
September 16th, 2007 at 4:09 am
If the McCanns were informed about the dog study, scent of dead body in various place, etc. why they didn’t at least consider who might have killed Madeleine and taken her body away if they are unaware of an accident. Okay, in theory considering the dog study, wouldn’t the McCanns question what could have happened to Madeleine, in that respect, if they are unaware of an accident although they would prefer to believe she is alive. My guess is, with all of that information, including hope of a live child, wouldn’t consideration be given to how could she have died and been taken away? That would at least appear part of what would be considered by innocent parents? Just a guess.
September 16th, 2007 at 5:44 am
I believe when the McCanns stated that the idea that Kate accidentally killed her daughter (and then with all the talk of the DNA / body fluids) was ludicrous, that meant anything having to do with any of it was ludicrous… the police are trying to get them to confess. They know this and they probably do not believe anythung the police are telling them about the trunk of the car, etc… which is why they haven’t asked about it. I believe they think it’s irrelevant and untrue.
“The only things that are certain, the children were left alone , and one is missing”
It is addictive to go back and forth with others here to try to come up with something - anything - that might bring this child out, alive and well.
The hope that she is stowed away somewhere, maybe at the church by someone trying to teach the McCann’s a lesson for leaving her alone… something.
Like I have posted before, The McCann’s moved from their vacation villa where Madeleine vanished. When they left, they had to take her belongings everywhere they went. Belongings that contained Madeleine’s DNA/body fluids.
Luggage would be put into their trunk. Luggage that contained Madeleine’s belongings/ Madeleine’s scent.
They keep talking of blood in the apartment. Well an overdoes of sleeping pills doesn’t make you bleed. The PJ need to decide which crime they want and stick to it…They know there are doubts in what they are trying to accomplish which is why they are now saying they can’t charge the McCanns because there simply isnt enough evidence to do so.
Maybe they decided to back off the McCanns a little when the McCanns just announced there new campaign.
These are the things I hold on to. It gives hope that this adorable precious little girl is still with us.

It just shows you. Doctors, even religeous ones are just as likely to be bad parents as anyone. This educated? couple obviously are not cut out to be custodians of any form of life. Please will someone hurry up and remove the other two kids. Not likely to be harmed at the moment with all the attention. But why take the risk.
Horrid reflections on them is not because of the girls dissappearance it is what what they did to all three kids before they sounded the alarm.
Drug ‘em up and lets go on the piss. Unthinkable by 99.99% (at a guess) of all parents.And yet people feel sorry for them, defend them, give them money, it’s a sad inditement on the world at large.
Personally I think a few heads will roll. A few misguided but loyal friends wil go down with them. But then again they all might get away with it and……….they can go to confession and all will be ok. Makes my skin crawl.

Seriously, I get back up to say not only NO but NO WAY can I imagine a child has an accidental death and people visit the television station pointing at the child asking people to put up posters while taking donations and selling bracelets. Is it possible? If so, wouldn’t that be the kind of circumstance that would actually be ludicrous?

September 16th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Could “Leaving no stone unturned” be a clue as to where the Police should look for a body?? Pity they aren’t being a bit more specific!
Like others, I’m appalled the McCanns haven’t at least been charged yet with gross neglect of their three young children. If they’d shown just half the care and attention shown since to ‘Cuddle Cat’, then poor Madeleine might still be with us. (Mind you, I’m suspicious that even ‘Cuddle Cat’ has been sedated in case he gives anything away!)

No Stone Unturned - Steve Jackson
Info can be found on Amazon
Editorial Reviews
Founded in 1991 as a nonprofit forensic investigative team, NecroSearch International specializes in homicide cases shelved because of “corpus indelecti” that is, a body cannot be produced as evidence that a murder has taken place. Coming from a wide range of backgrounds geophysicists to “cadaver dog” specialists to chemists and rank-and-file cops the members of NecroSearch combine their skills to produce the most proficient (and most exciting) detective work since Sherlock Holmes. They take the coldest cases and comb for hidden graves on rural hillsides, in suburban backyards and at the bottom of mud-choked riverbeds, searching for remains that have been buried anywhere from two to 20 years. (Or 70, as in the notorious Romanov family case.) Having sharpened his true crime teeth on Monster, Jackson competes here with two other books on forensic science to appear this season: Michael Baden and Marion Roach’s Dead Reckoning and Corpse by Jessica Snyder Sachs. But while those books concentrate on the establishment of forensic methods as formidable weapons in the fight for criminal justice, this book combines the burden of scientific proof with rousing tales of police work out in the field or the quarry, the Rocky Mountains or someone’s backyard. The book covers the group’s quirky beginnings and digs into its most important cases suspensefully; Jackson’s sharp eye misses nothing in the painstakingly rendered details. A must-have for true crime fans, it should also be of great interest to anyone fascinated with the practical applications of science. 32 pages of photos not seen by PW.

Some great “Andrew selected/edited” snippets in here for us below:
“There’s no let-up,” said Calum, whose Infohost firm hosts the family’s official website, run using some of the £1 million in donations being sent to the privately run Madeleine’s Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned.
(©™® Patent Pending)
“There’s been a big increase in orders since they became suspects. Somebody came back 30 times, ordering 100 bands. Sometimes people just want one or two, so we throw a couple of extra bands in. It’s difficult to get rid of some of the medium-sized bands as they don’t fit many people. People would still want the Madeleine bands even if she was found. Her face is a (TRADE) mark.™ It’s everywhere.”
“I know from speaking to Gerry on the phone that he is 100% innocent. They are definitely not guilty. Gerry is very determined to find his daughter. You can tell it in his voice when he talks on the phone. He wouldn’t have done all this if they were guilty. If the fund ©™® is still going, we will continue the website even if they are charged and face trial. They wouldn’t want us to back off …”
WHAT?????? There’s more.
Madeleine’s uncle, John McCann, from Glasgow, said: “The main objective of the Madeleine fund is to leave no stone unturned (©™® Patent Pending) in the search for Madeleine.”
Except when it comes to Kate and Gerry’s stone, they want to crawl back under that one obviously.
This is the “killer” line for me everyone…
Calum is already working on new ventures after spotting a market in missing-person websites. Last week he contacted the family of missing schoolgirl Rosemary Edwards, from Hampshire, after her father made an emotional TV appeal. He said: “I don’t think we should be making money out of it, but I would love to do more stuff like this. We phoned up to see if they wanted a website for that missing girl, but they haven’t called back.”
I wonder why not? Maybe they are genuine people that don’t want anything to do with “Murder.Inc” (©™® Patent Pending) and the McCanns?

Where is she says
“They keep talking of blood in the apartment. Well an overdoes of sleeping pills doesn’t make you bleed.”
Sorry but i am a former Police Officer i have to tell you you are wrong
an overdose is not a nice way to go its not all sweetness and light, blood and faces and urine are quite often involved as a person loses bodily functions
i went to such a sudden death after the girl involved dies and all she took was TEN paarcetamols.
September 17th, 2007 at 1:11 am

Can you tell me if the kneeling down position with head down in front of you is a typical drug type scenario for a body. Like the young girl whose parents allowed her picture to be shown when she had died of a drug overdose.
September 17th, 2007 at 1:44 am
Are Mr. and Mrs. McCann the most clueless parents-in-mourning ever? Guilty or not, they are definitely tasteless and repulsive to me.
Have you read the September 13 blog essay “What “What Really Happened to Madeleine McCann? I Think I’ve Figured it Out.” by ‘TootToot’ It carefully reviews what we know about the case, particularly that crucial first day when Madeleine was announced missing and speculates what might have gone wrong and why the parents may have made the decisions they did:
http://community.verizon.net/thread.jspa?threadID=1700002105&start=0
I hope everyone will take the time to read it.
BTW, I love the humor on this thread/blog. This case certainly has enough peculiarities in it and this patent pending business is bizarre and absurd.

Community Verizon says;
Here’s the other thing. She only gets Gerry. I’m pretty convinced of that because there is no mention of the friends helping in the initial “search” and no mention of them being present when hotel staff and police arrive.
Ron says;
Source Telegraph.co.uk 12/09/2007
Kate McCann ran back to the restaurant at 10pm, saying Madeleine was missing.
10:14pm Police were called after “the friends made an initial search”.
