What Would You Do For $10k?

A woman just had goldenpalace.com PERMANENTLT tatooed on her forehead to satisfy the winning bid of her auction on ebay.. Golden Palace used BIN to purchase the advertising space for $10,000.

Question is: Would you do this?

Same. I'm in the house all the time. I leave about 20 times max in the year excluding school. So probably.

GoldenPalace.com got a hell of a bargain for that advertising and the resulting publicity.

Everyone makes fun of the crazy stuff that they buy, but their company is quickly becoming a household name. Quite an accomplishment for an online casino.

but it depends on where the woman lives what if there aren't too many people living in her city/town? What if there are only a small portion of citizens who have access to the internet in that specific city/town?

I wouldn't do it personally. However, I'm sure that they are getting more than their money's worth in terms of publicity from this. Creative ways of marketing IMHO.

Getting a tattoo, permanent advertising for large amounts of money, that's one thing.

But getting it on your forehead, and for only 10K.... seems like a crazy bad deal for the lady.

As RJ said though, a great deal for the casino.

I agree.. much as $10k sounds tempting.. I don't think I'd even do a temporary tatoo on my forehead...
geez, I even suggested an advertising shrinkwrap for the car and the GF said no way.. she'd leave me if I got a tatoo!

I agree. No matter what the money, I'd never advertise anywhere on my body!

Oh no, lifetime tattoo on her forehead. I cant stand that, especially if it's a gambling site.

Be worth thinking about, if you're a slaphead (baldy) like me - get 4 or five on my forehead, more money lol.
Seriously, I think the game is, for 1 million pounds, have it done (that's peanuts to the big boys) + medical expenses. (i.e. the costs incurred having the process reversed)
Would anyone do it then! £1 MILLION

in all honesty they probably don't care they probably wouldn't even care if she didn't get it done, the publicity about the auction itself would be worth what they spent.

To tell you the truth, I don't know if there is any amount of money that would cause me to do something like this. If I did, it would cost a lot more than $10,000.
