2/10/2003: Forehead advertising



Oh you could have predicted this one. (So why didn't you?)

In the UK, an advertising firm called "Cunning Stunts" (yes, ripping off an old pun also used by the band Metallica) has announced that they will be renting out students' foreheads for advertising.

The rate: 4.20 pounds/hour and you have to wear it for a minimum of three hours per day. Pretty good money for doing almost nothing; not such good money in exchange for your dignity.

Six of One, Half Dozen of Another

So, how is this substantially different from wearing clothing with brand names emblazoned on them?

Sheesh, if I wanted my kids to be walking billboards, the companies should pay ME for them to wear the clothes!

Thught #1 - dude with logo on forehead:

I can't remember *ever* being that hard up for beer money that I would have some bullshit logo on my forehead while attending college or since. The carpet pattern was the only thing that may have appeared there, and I was not compensated.

Maybe the chicks today dig dorks with this look. Some guys can get laid with anything unusual.

Thought #2 - 99's baby endorsing Old Navy:

Why don't firearms companies supply T-shirts in baby sizes? What would better convey that your (generic term) kid wont grow up to be some new age pussy than a Desert Eagle t-shirt in toddler sizes? Nothing graphically violent, but endorsing the product, not the *mis-use* of the product.

Oh, never mind. Nowdays CPS has the *right* to swipe your kid when you expose them to such inherently evil themes.

Cool Forehead advertising

I wouldn't mind being payed for doing vitually nothing, although I would like to veto certain advertisers. It would be cool being sponsered by Leicester City FC (my local soccer team), but I'd draw the line at Tampax hehehe!

Nice site Dave, now where's the one with the chicks renting their chests?

Ooops, it says they are available (for 2k ) at the bottom of the page.

browning?

my eyes aren't too good this time of day.....
what is on that tee-shirt the entire "Browning" line?
I didn't think Desert Eagle had that many models.
It's too hard to ID any of those irons.

I've been wondering for years about the whole logo clothing thing. When I was a kid, you could write away to, for example, STP or Moon or Hooker (all racing product manufacturers), and they'd send you piles of logo stickers and such.

Now, you *pay* premium pricing for manufacturers' logos on your otherwise unremarkable clothing. I don't really get it, I guess.

I do have a couple of shirts that have the old Moog Music logo on them, but they were made by a friend of mine and given to me for nothing.

Now, if only I hadn't had to sell my Mini Moog in order to be able to afford to keep my ARP 2600. Looks like I need an ARP shirt. I don't have any objection to wearing advertising for companies that don't exist anymore (okay, Moog exists in a couple of forms, but they aren't using this logo anymore).

moog......

aahhh......moog.
We got one in high school, circa 1983.
32 keys, whole lotta slides and levers.
You had to program the entire sound envelope prior to playing.
very low-tech by todays standards.

I'd check to see if you could also pick up sponsorships from Skoal and one of the chocolate companies ... NASCAR doesn't limit a driver to one sponsor, and there appears to be space remaining on your forehead for a couple of smaller ads.

This absolutely beats renting yourself out for human experimentation.
