As if we all weren’t annoyed enough by spam clogging our email inboxes. Soon you’ll be able to spread spam messages personally by adorning your body with spam clothes.

Newsday is reporting that notorious spammer Scott Richter is launching a new clothing line called SpamKing. Richter has been profiled in many articles and TV shows, and is being sued by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer for spam-related crimes.

SpamKing will offer panties, hats, and shirts carrying spam lingo such as “Just opt out,” and “Click it.”

Naturally, Richter and his OptInRealBig.com “online marketing company” will sell the SpamKing clothes online and plan to use e-mail to advertise.
