The Internet is both wonderful in its brilliance and frightening in its stupidity. Witness the man who sold his forehead as advertising space to the tune of over $37,000. This was immediately followed by an auction for forehead popup blockers, proving that the Internet givith and the Internet taketh away. Then some pregnant woman auctioned off the space on her swollen belly (too bad a condom company didn’t win) and some gal in Scottland auctioned off her cleavage.
My initial reactions to this were twofold. First, I was disgusted. Second, I thought I had to get in on the action. To that effect, I auctioned off my 12 month old daughter’s forehead as ad space on which the winner could place whatever logo he wanted. The winning bid was $1.8 million and here’s a photo of the delivered goods:

In hindsight I really should have specified a temporary tattoo in the auction description, but what are you gonna do? I’m investing all of the winnings, though, in the form of a bet on the Patriots to win the Superbowl this weekend.
Sooo…you finally found out who’s playing in the Superbowl. Just in the knick of time for that Superbowl party, too. 🙂
