Woman Tattoos Company's Advertisement on Forehead

New to some and old-school to others, stories of people offering to don corporate logos on various parts of their body are a dime a dozen, but let's be reasonable some are just too damn crazy to ignore...

A woman in Utah actually auctioned off her forehead to the highest eBay bidder. No shit. Even worse...she actually put a price on her forehead, $10,000 smackers. Is it just me people, or is that prime real estate? I mean, I know my forehead is worth more than a measly ten grande. What's the going rate for infamy now-a-days? Seriously people, what's your pricetag? What would you charge to physically deface your "personal property"...very personal property....I guess I should say, "What would you charge for me, or my company in this case, to publically deface and humiliate you for the rest of your life?"


Well for Karolyne Smith, she only charged the Golden Palace $10,000. This "Forehead Goldie" appeared on national news, was fielding offers for interviews from local radio shows and even made it to the No. 2 spot on eBay's list of most watched items. Yes, I said eBay people, we're talking about the internet's McDonalds. The auction ended when GoldenPalace.com used eBay's "Buy it now" feature to acquire the forehead space. What the hell is the world coming to? Oh well, if you can't beat 'em...join 'em...
