Customers commemorate Fiorina duty with shirts and caps

Although HP’s ousted CEO did not officially cancel the vendor’s HP 3000 future, the high-profile Carly Fiorina did push the company further away from such high-profit, proprietary products. Now an online company has started selling clothing to let HP employees and customers celebrate the end of what some call the Carly Fiorina Years. Shopping at www.cafepress.com/carly_survivor yields clothing for those who emerged without changes to their employment, while www.cafepress.com/carly_victim caters to those no longer in the same job after her tenure.

Café Press is an online marketplace that offers sellers turnkey e-commerce services for apparel and other items, customized with logos. The Carly store also has a sense of humor; customers who order the Carly Victim beer stein can buy the mug for $2 less than the Carly Survivor stein, “discounted here in deference to the unemployed.”
