NEW YORK |
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Who really is "Client 9"?
The New York Times says it's the code name for New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer in court papers that link him to a prostitution ring, but now anyone can be "Client 9" with T-shirts available online just a day after the scandal broke.
From simply "Client 9" with a large lipstick smooch over the top to "Just Call Me CLIENT 9," designers on Web sites like www.cafepress.com and www.zazzle.com are cashing in on reports that Spitzer had hired a high-priced prostitute.
"Look like a governor in this stylish CLIENT 9 design," one designer advertises on www.cafepress.com.
The two online retail sites allow designers to upload their own graphics to print on products such as T-shirts and mugs.
