man auctions forehead for ad space

Postby Mazzocchi on Wed Jan 26, 2005 11:49 am

OMAHA, Neb. - A Web-page designer who auctioned off the use of his forehead for advertising space is letting it go to his head.

Andrew Fischer, 20, of Omaha, who put his forehead for sale on eBay as advertising space, received $37,375 on Friday to advertise the snoring remedy, SnoreStop.

Fischer will display the SnoreStop logo on his forehead for one month.

"I look forward to an enjoyable association with Andrew — a man who clearly has a head for business in every sense of the word," SnoreStop CEO Christian de Rivel said.

"People will always comment on something out of the ordinary," Fischer said in his sales pitch. "People like weird."

But there were limits: He refused from the outset to be the conduit for any message or product deemed tasteless or unacceptable in traditional advertising formats.

wow $40k+ a month, thats awesome.
Imagine people walking around wit hads on their Foreheads and hands and stuff, messed up :lol:

$37,375 :shock: :shock:

I 1st heard about this a couple of weeks ago, the highest bidder then was $350, its crazy.

Edit: It all started with the Boxer's, they have the old logo on the back. I think the 1st time was Julius Francis who was fighting Tyson, the Sun newspaper payed him £10,000 to have there logo on the sole's of his shoe's.
