Cashing in on Client #9
You've got to love capitalism. No matter what happens, someone will use it as an opportunity to generate wealth. Virgin Mobile Canada makes the most of Client #9:
From the ad copy:
At Virgin Mobile, you're more than just a number. When you call us we'll treat you like a person, not a client. Whether you're #9 or #900, you'll get hooked up with somebody who'll finally treat you just how you want to be treated.
But the services Eliot Spitzer required might run you a little extra.

Oh, this is so wrong on so many levels.... When did Virgin Mobile lose all taste?
Oh wait, they named their company "Virgin Mobile" - they never had any to begin with.

I think it's hilarious. No amount of ridicule is too much to be heaped upon Spitzer. I don't remember there being this much joke material since Monica.....I've missed those days.

It seems the "call girl" will be in an issue of Penthouse in the not to distant future. It certainly hasn't hurt her earning potential any.
Virgin Mobile is at least applying a "sense of humor" to the whole event.

I have to say that this is absolutely fantastic. Good for Virgin Mobile to generate wealth. Those that want to say this shouldn't happen need to be reminded what the 1st Amendment says.

Richard Branson while a knack for making money is known for bad taste and hollow symbolism. Like the recent attempt to prove flying a plane with bio fuels is a good idea - it isnt.

Did anyone wonder how many hookers in NYC needed barf bags to "service Spitzer". This man is genuinely homely! Holy Cow, it isn't just the stress, he is flat out unattractive!
