Washington - Fans of Sarah Palin can have the Republican vice
presidential nominee waving at them from the wall of their living room
thanks to a US company that on Wednesday launched life-sized Palin wall
stickers.
Dressed in a chic white jacket, black skirt and open-toe shoes, and
wearing her signature glasses, the high-resolution image of Palin
stands 1,67 metres tall and comes with two choices of accessories -
either Republican Party emblems or a rifle, hockey stick and puck,
tiara and lipstick.
"We were thinking about lipstick on a pig or something but we decided
to make it a little bit fun, without pushing anyone's buttons," said
Jason Weisenthal, founder of WallMonkeys.com, which makes the Palin and
other graphics to enhance people's walls.
The life-size version costs $70 (about R570), a four-foot version costs
$40 and "we've just added four, 12-inch versions that you can put on
your laptop computer which you can have for 20 bucks," Weisenthal said.
The Palin wall image is the first foray into the political, celebrity,
and sports personality market for WallMonkeys, which specialized
previously in custom-made removable life-size wall images.
"We decided to go with Sarah Palin because she's probably the most
googled woman in the United States right now," Weisenthal said.
WallMonkeys might produce wall art of the two presidential candidates,
Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, but has no plans to
make a life-size image of Obama's running mate, Joseph Biden.
"Nobody wants him," said Weisenthal.
But, he warned potential customers, if the Republicans don't win the
election on November 4, Palin cannot be returned to WallMonkeys.
"She doesn't come with a winning guarantee," said Weisenthal.
"Unless there's a printing defect, you can't send her back." - AFP
