We posted a story last week about a woman who sold advertising on her forehead for $10,000.00\. One source claims it's a fraud:

> *Deseretnews* reports that Golden Palace bought forehead space on a woman for $10,000\. We've seen forehead ads before, in commercials, in the *Guardian*, by the Cunning Stunts agency, on young firefox fans. All done with the same stickers used on boxers in the ring. We concluded the forehead hype had reached fever pitch, and honestly thought we'd be done with this by now.

> But nooooo.

> The super annoying Golden Palace .com are riding their wave of free press by announcing yet another inane Ebay buy. And the *Deseretnews* are playing right into their hands by reporting about it. Alas, despite - or perhaps thanks to - someone sending photographer Keith Johnson to the scene I can't believe it. Why not? Well look at the shot kids, its a sticker. Why, there are companies that broker in real tattoo ads out there, but this ain't one of them.

In a more innocent age, advertising was primarily about imparting information so the consumer knew about your product. Now, we deal with image advertising ("Just get your name out there, any way possible,"--hence the proliferation of ads everywhere) and fraudulent and misleading PR gimmicks and stunts. At some point our culture will get fed up, but we're probably nowhere near that point yet.
