If you didn't hear this woman auctioned off the space on her forehead on Ebay the highest bidder was goldenpalace.com. They paid her $10,000 to tattoo their url on her forehead. Apparently she wanted to money to send her kid to private school because the kids grades were slipping. :o Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this?

Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: matt674 on May 18, 2006, 12:16:51 PM Nutter If you did then the ink would probably leave an imprint on your forehead as well!! Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: ACE2M on May 18, 2006, 12:18:11 PM there is no way she will regret that in a few years.

I hope her kids don't let her down. Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: MrMoves on May 18, 2006, 12:41:19 PM I hear some Arsenal fans have "Champions League Winners 2005/06" tattoed on their person.
Now that's a bad beat. Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this?

Post by: bolt pp on May 18, 2006, 01:06:30 PM thats a blinding move, shame she didnt get more.
I hope gets a few quid for interviews and such. Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Trace on May 18, 2006, 01:14:36 PM OUCH!
Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Sark79 on May 18, 2006, 02:03:55 PM It actually gives a negative image to the poker site. I can't imagine why a site would want to be connected to that sort of thing. It just shows the site has no morals and feels no concerns over exploiting a person in a desperate situation. I would not join that site now after seeing that. I wasn't going to join anyway, but I would rather take my money elsewhere.
They are scum in my opinion. Not the Lady, the poker site. lol.. matt. Always good with the funny ones :D Is that a permanent tattoo ? Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: matt674 on May 18, 2006, 02:20:59 PM It just shows the site has no morals and feels no concerns over exploiting a person in a desperate situation. I think you'll find thats a trait of most casinos, live and online - they dont care how they make a profit and who they are profitting from, so long as they get lots of it............ but to show they have a "caring" side you will find a 10cm x 4cm poster hidden away in a dark recess that says "if you have a problem gambling then phone gamblers anonymous". Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Poppet7 on May 18, 2006, 02:23:14 PM It could've been worse... another company could've bought her advertising space and it might have been something really embarrassing!
Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Sark79 on May 18, 2006, 02:23:55 PM I agree matt, you are right.
I am still smiling at the NUTTER joke :D Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: The Truth on May 18, 2006, 02:50:49 PM Been researching this.
Andrew someone or other from Omaha Nebraska started the trend and was making $50,000 / month from the idea. He was using 28 day temporary tattoos. Golden Palace have a load of stuff like this on their site and womens breasts seem to be the latest craze as well as loads of items they have bought in auction for publicity including Marilyn Munroe's little black book. Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Poppet7 on May 18, 2006, 02:53:19 PM $50k a month for having a temp tattoo... don't ask me twice, I'd do it!
Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: matt674 on May 18, 2006, 02:56:08 PM Golden Palace have a load of stuff like this on their site and womens breasts seem to be the latest craze Great - so of the 30000 tattoos that golden palace have done, 29999 are placed on norkage.... And we have a picture of the only one that isn't!! So go on then poppet, which part of your body would you sell for that amount and what would you advertise on there? ;) Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Sark79 on May 18, 2006, 02:59:13 PM This one is permanent. I am sure the women could have raised $15,000 by other means. ( she got $5,000 extra from the site ) .
Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Poppet7 on May 18, 2006, 03:00:34 PM I wouldn't really want it on my head, but hands, arms, boobs are my most visible body parts so it would be there! I would advertise anything ;)
Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: The Truth on May 18, 2006, 03:04:46 PM http://www.goldenpalaceevents.com/auctions/
has all the info and a few breast stories Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this?

Post by: londonpokergirl on May 18, 2006, 04:11:45 PM I'd have a temporary one done, but donate 1/2 to P4c but it woulld have to be more than $10k
Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: bolt pp on May 18, 2006, 04:56:54 PM This one is permanent. I am sure the women could have raised $15,000 by other means. ( she got $5,000 extra from the site ) . like what? how do you make $15000 quickly to send your kids through college. If i said to you thet you had to make £10,000 in a week and you had no friends or family to ask and it was of the upmost importance how would you go about doing it. Its easy to say there are other means in theory, so what are they then? rob a bank, go on the game, sell your organs. how should she have gone about aquiring the neccesary funds? your opinion is as veermently argued as it is lacking in detail. lets say that before she does it you get wind of her intentions and openly proclaim that there are other means for a woman in her situation to procure these funds, so before proceeding she phones you up and says "wonderful, i was going to have to endure the indignity and continual ignominy of having a tatoo on my forehead but i've heard you know of atleast one alternate recourse for the aquirsition of the funds i need to put my children through college" what you gonna tell her? Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: The Truth on May 18, 2006, 05:00:15 PM I would have a 3 month one done for £15,000 to charity although 350k would be better ;goodvevil;
Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Sark79 on May 18, 2006, 05:05:03 PM The actual cost is £5,300. She didn't know that the site was going to throw in an extra $5,000 until after. So that is the money she has to find.
I am more against the lack of morals of the site, rather than the womans decision. She has a husband, even if he had to beg in the street. It has to be better then her decision.

It has to be better then her decision. reprehesible actions by the company i agree. But your wrong, begging in the street would be much worse. should she deal drugs to get the money instead if she didnt get caught and knowone knew about it? Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Nem on May 18, 2006, 05:23:47 PM She can get rid of the tattoo for £1k.
Is she tied in to have the tattoo for a certain amount of time? Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Sark79 on May 18, 2006, 05:26:50 PM The actual cost is £5,300.

Why does it have to be illegal?. Other people in similar situations have come up with £5000 without resorting to such drastic measures and they were single. I am sure with a two person unit, they could find the required money before the college starts. Her Son looks around 10 yrs old. If you assume he goes to college at age 18. That gives two people around 8 years to come up with the money. You have your opinion. I have mine. I believe that I am correct. You obviously think you are correct. Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: The Truth on May 18, 2006, 05:36:09 PM Should be easy for me as I have the word MUG already porinted on my forehead.

Clearly you are not aware of the cost of college in the USA if you think thats all they needed. Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: bolt pp on May 18, 2006, 06:09:32 PM I understand that we have differing opinions here and thats fine.
All i'm doing is asking a simple qestion that requires you to elaborate on your contention slightly. all you keep doing is saying "other methods" and all i'm asking by means of putting foward less plausible methods of aqusition is what would you suggest she do if it was the case that the money was needed urgently? Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: Sark79 on May 18, 2006, 06:17:46 PM As I don't live in her area of the US. It is impossible for me to say what alternative employment opportunities are available or what money making schemes there may be.

The devil must be hard up. Who's going to sell their soul nowadays when you can get by with just selling your forehead. Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this? Post by: londonpokergirl on May 18, 2006, 09:45:06 PM I like it. The devil must be hard up. Who's going to sell their soul nowadays when you can get by with just selling your forehead. Funny enough me, Jen, David Young and Tony Dobson were having a very deep conversation in the break of a tournament talking about selling our souls and if so how much would you pay to buy it. Interesting debate :) Title: Re: Why on earth would you do this?
