Whats with the human ad space??

[TinkerPixxie]

Heard on the news tonight about a lady selling space avalible to place ads on ebay... the space is her belly. I looked on ebay and didnt find that but I did find multiple people selling forehead space, clevage space, and even one couple selling space on their newborn. I want to earn a quick buck like everyone else {fund more disney trips} but seriously Im lost on this one.
The only one that had bids was the "model" who will allow your ad on her clevage for one month, bid was up to 10,100.00.

I should sell space on my rear

There is an (unfortunately) Canadian based internet casino that has paid individuals to write the company name on their body (usually their chest or back) and interrupt high profile sporting events to get the advertisement seen. One fellow was arrested at the Athens Olympics -- he managed to breach the security at the dive centre. Another fellow was arrested at an international figure skating competition last year. It really is nothing more than guerilla advertising.

The model the OP is referring to is Shaune Bagwell, ex-wife of Houston Astros baseball player, Jeff Bagwell. This topic was big talk this morning on the radio. Interesting from what I heard most people fully supported her and the creative way she found to make money. To each his own I guess.

I recently read somewhere that there's a guy out there who permanently tattoos ads on himself (!!!). And he's only charging $1000 or so per ad. I wonder what he'll do when he runs out of ad space. Yikes!

There were a couple of guys who paid for their Harvard educations by agreeing to be human billboards for companies. In exchange for the money, they had to go to a certain number of concerts, athletic events, etc. each month so the ads cold be seen -- no hermiting in their dorm rooms. Like that was hard for college kids....

Well, no hermiting in their dorm rooms could be hard if they're at Harvard.
