Amazon are selling a product named the "Ultimate Dead Baby Joke Book"
Please do not click on this link if you are easily disturbed as it contains a graphic product image. www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Dead-Baby-Joke-ebook/dp/B004Z9AUZC
I was made aware of this product through someone else's complaint on a social media site.
This item is disturbing, morally wrong and offensive. It is a disgrace that amazon is selling such a product.
The product image of the book cover itself is graphic and disgusting. I personally felt physically sick at having seen it.
This product deems itself to be humorous. I, for one, think that is grossly misleading and completely incorrect. This is not humorous. This is offensive and upsetting.
A page on Facebook has also been created and despite all of the reports from people who are outraged about this page, Facebook has not done anything. This is outrageous and completely inappropriate. Facebook and any other promoters of this graphic product need to remove this immediately.
This product and page is filled with disgusting, horrific jokes about 'dead' babies, including survival tactics, recipes, sex tips, storing tips, eating tips and what to do when the police find you with a dead baby.
This product is completely repugnant and unsympathetic to those that have lost a baby through stillbirth or neonatal death.
It must be removed immediately to prevent further upset to other people with a conscience and basic morals.
If you would like support or information on stillbirth or neonatal death please contact Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, www.uk-sands.org
