Last night on the news, I saw another funny auction. This guy is auctioning off his forehead as advertising space on Ebay!!! Check it out HERE. Ok, my thoughts on this are, why didn’t I think of it first!!! The money he is getting, clearly would have helped me make a whole home theater room in my basement. So, why don’t I advertise? Well, if you check it out, none of the copycats are getting near the amount of cash as the original guy. He got all the media attention, so his dome is prime real estate. Following are a few of the copycats I picked out (Click on the names to view their auctions):
Poser Guy - This guy is the anti-original. He doesn’t drive a minivan. I have news for him, driving a minivan doesn’t make someone uncool. I would know. Coolness is something you are born with. Most Ebay users know this, thus there are no bids at this time. Or, it could be that he is asking too freaking much to rent his forehead!
Dog Guy – He is offering up his dog as well as his head for advertising space. If you think about it, this isn’t a great deal unless the dog takes walks with lots of different people. On the plus side, he is paying to have a doggie sweater made while all the other auctions seem to put the burden of creating and paying for the advertisement on the auction winner. He is giving half of his proceeds to the tsunami victims, so that is good. All I have to say about him is, he jumped on the forehead bandwagon and now he is jumping on the tsunami bandwagon. Hey, if the Detroit Lions are good next year, he will probably jump on that bandwagon.
Girl Power – Ok, you knew there had to be one of these. This man’s women has offered up her breast to the advertising world. She even offered up her construction working husband for a bonus advertising space. Unlike the last husband-wife team, this woman chose to concentrate on what she believes is deal maker part of her auction. By the way, this woman is from Macomb, Michigan. I am sorry to say she is representing our state in this latest craze.
Classic Advertising - Is there no limit to who will accept forehead advertising? Check her feedback, this granny is an Ebay juggernaut! You can trust her because she sells battery operated bug swatters when she is not auctioning her forehead. If you are a good negotiator, maybe you can get her to advertise on the forehead of her “huge pile of great-grandkids.”
Anything Goes – If you noticed, all the other auctions do not allow vulgar logos or language. With this guy, anything goes. He will put anything on his head.
