Washington, July 10 (Reuters): Your dog, your toddler, your car and your computer can now sport the same pungent phrase — suggesting an anatomically unlikely sex act — uttered in a moment of pique by US vice- president Dick Cheney.

Within weeks of Cheney’s angry utterance of the f-word to US Senator Patrick Leahy on June 22, an online cottage industry quoting the vice-president has sprung up at Cafepress.com, a website offering customised merchandise.

“I thought it was funny,” said Sean Bonner, a Los Angeles art gallery owner who designed a range of products with Cheney’s angry remark.”

“I kind of wanted a shirt like that and the best way to do it would be to make it myself,” Bonner said by telephone.

Bonner’s section of the Cafepress site — www.cafepress.com/vpquote — offers regular T-shirts, thongs, creeper outfits for toddlers and infants, dog T-shirts, computer mouse pads, car stickers and trucker hats. After a mention in The Washington Post on Friday, this collection went from getting few hits to being one of the top four “shops” on the site.

It is hardly the only one that refers to Cheney’s vulgarity.

Others offer such slogans as: “It’s long overdue: go f*** yourselves! Bush Cheney ’04” and one features a photo of Cheney surrounded by the words“Dick Heads, here for America.” There are also several “shops” offering straightforward political merchandise supporting Bush and Cheney, who during the 2000 presidential campaign vowed to “restore a tone of civility to the debate in Washington.”
