No, I've been in retail for 25 years.
When I come here it is for fun, explore my fantasy and mix with friends.
... oh, and to have a cup of coffee!
Not sure what the rules are with these print-on-demand companies like Cafe Press and Zazzle.
We may be surprised to find out. Seems like there would be a pretty decent market for at least borderline stuff, which I have seen for sale.
All I did was upload the picture to the image area of my product creation page and then create a 'product in progress.'
Then, instead of saving it I did a screen print and cropped out all of the stuff on the page except the product image.
Normally you would either save it as a project or stick it up in your store front page and name your price.
It's pretty cool, because it costs you absolutely nothing and they do all the work.
They have a base price which you make 7% of the sale, but you can also put a higher price on it and make more.
With art, the sky is the limit! I did notice on stuff that gets super high-priced they get an additional cut.
If you put a link on your website you get something like 15% of the sale if your customers buy it through there.
They also have another deal where if you put the Zazzle logo link on your site and anybody buys anything through it, you get a cut too!
If you were allowed to produce crux products, it would seem like you could do pretty good, but I don't know. Crux folks are very careful about concealing their identity as you already know.
After I created the coffee mug and T - shirt I removed the image from my image page immediately.
If you think you might want to test the waters, I would start with something pretty mild, artsy, religious, whatever and keep working your way from there.
Like I said, we may be surprised at how much they do allow.

I haven't used Cafe Press, but it is probably very similar.
From what I heard Cafe Press has a larger product line and may possibly do a bit better with printing text, but you make more money with Zazzle.
I've been happy with Zazzle with the few things I've produced and put up for sale.
Again, you do no work other than creating the product design. They do everything such as shipping, product info, returns, etc.
It is like you are being paid to be a designer.
Good luck and feel free to contact me for help.
The worse they can do is crucify you .. and that ain't so bad ... in fact, it's fun!
Fetish or not, everyone should get crucified. It builds character and could create new jobs and businesses!
We need to get the world economy rolling again. Mass crucifixions may be just the ticket!
Mel could franchise out her Crux Coffee Shop to fund the building of her coliseums.
It would be like the good old Roman days again!
People like me would return to Christianity just to get a discount on being crucified.
