A 20-year-old Nebraska man is renting his forehead for advertising space in an attempt to pay college bills, according to a Local 6 News report.

Andrew Fisher said he will have a business logo or even a Web site temporarily tattooed to his forehead for 30 days. Fisher is taking bids and will award the space on his body to the winning bidder, Local 6 News reported.


Fisher said while he hasn't decided which college he'll attend, he wants to study graphic design.

"Their company is going to get their name out in a way they definitely weren't thinking about getting it out last week," Fisher said.

Odd business idea, as he obviously isn't using his head for much else.

"temporarily tattooed"? I wonder if anyone has explained to the lad that tattoos are permanent, and that even lasering them off leaves traces of it? (Heck, if you do a tattoo with plain water in place of ink, you still get a light scar.)

The ones that come off with water is what he probably meant.

Dumb.





Kinda like those morons who changed their name to 'Dunlop' (the tire company) for $200 bux or something, and had to legally keep the name for some period of time.

Again, another DUMB marketing scheme.

I do not know what is DUMBER, the people who take part in such acts or specific societies which entertain such ideas.

Dumb.
