    Future of advertisement??

    On June 30, 2005, Karolyne Smith became the first woman to have her forehead permanently tattooed with a company logo as a form of advertisement. Karolyne had created an auction on eBay offering her forehead as advertisement space. The auction generated a great deal of attention and reached number two on eBay's most watched auctions list. The auction ended when GoldenPalace.com used eBay's "Buy it now" feature to acquire the forehead space for US$10,000. Despite protest from employees of the tattoo parlor, Karolyne went through with having the domain name permanently inked on her forehead in inch-high block letters. GoldenPalace.com had previously paid Brent Moffatt to tattoo their logo on his forehead.



    All I have to say can be summed up in the link below...

        It would probably just be a big NO HOTLINKING image.

            Yeah, she's pretty damn ugly.
            Emphasis on ugly.

              I agree. Seriously though folks, it's pretty sick. She says she's doing it for her kids' school, but if she was my mom I'd kill myself and flay my corpse open in her bedroom for when she gets home from work. Just as a practical joke, but one with a point.

                    Keep going... I want more money, lots more to have something stupid like that permanently tattooed on my forehead.

                    Although she may have done this to improve her looks.

                    I will find you... it's only a matter of time.

                      That looks more like magic marker than tattoo. By the time it washes off (in a few days) the sponsor will probably have forgotten all about it. Good for her!

                        What happens if the web site address changes?
                        Quakeone.com - Being exactly one-half good and one-half evil has advantages. When a portal opens to the antimatter universe, my opposite is just me with a goatee.

                        So while you guys all have to fight your anti-matter counterparts, me and my evil twin will be drinking a beer laughing at you guys ...

                            This is old news, and she actually is that stupid.

                              One day a dude was standing behind her in line when he asked her if she knew what time it was, she turned around to tell him and he punched her in the face. Later the police asked what motivated him to do such a thing and he replied "I was trying to close a pop up." The man was not charged and it was deemed a conditioned reflex, he was also awarded compensation for mental damages from Golden Palace.

                              Not a true story.
