I've written previously here about forehead billboards, but...Good God Man! I didn't mean to encourage anyone, really I didn't! All the same, a Utah mom got her forehead tatooed with the name of a Canadian online gambling site, in return for $10,000 to cover private school tuition for her academically-struggling 11-year-old son.
That'll getcha all of two years tuition Mom, if you're very lucky. Then, when junior's ready for high school, and later, college, what? Auction off some more skinspace for tuition? Or maybe arrange a big drug deal? Inquiring minds will want to know.
This kid: he'd better amount to something, that's all I can say.

That is just really weird.
Posted by: Nathan Azinger at July 2, 2005 03:42 AMHey man, I'm all for it! You see these dudes walking around covered in tattoos and what the heck do they get for them? Nuthin' I tell you; they even had to pay for them.
So, what's wrong with doing it for some dough? She did it for a noble cause and she still has plenty of additional epidermis left to work with. She could put the kid all the way through a Phd at Haaaavaaaaud.

Posted by: hello hello at July 9, 2005 12:29 PMWhat's so weird about it..props to her for at least trying to make a difference in her sons life and not expecting someone else to do it for her. In a year or so she can have it removed with lasor treatments. Hopefully it's a 'leased' forehead..not bought.

Posted by: m_bc at July 18, 2005 11:26 PMGee her son is flunking out of Utah public schools? Ya think he inherited his mother's extremely small brain? $10,000 , that's it?! That is maybe two years of a low rent cheap private school at best. She has to be the most stupid person I've read about recently, I think she may be even a bigger dumbass than that smirking chimp in the white house.
