Nothing says 'I'm a complete dork' quite like having an ad for snore stop plastered across your forehead.

But then again, for $14,000, I'd probably wear it too.

(by the way, the link above seems to be dead. Here's another one that should work.)

I love it! Good for him. I understand he's trying to earn money to pay for college. Very creative. He's got a "head" for business. (sorry, couldn't resist)
Sure he looks dorky but he's laughing all the way to the bank! I'm wondering if this will start a trend of forehead advertising. Is this guy the first and only one to do this? If it takes off, the guy with the forehead ad blocker glasses might actually have something!

It's still up there, but eBay seems to be making it hard to link directly to auctions. You have to type in the auction number in their search box to find it. So if you type in: 5955920385 it'll show up.

It advertises itself as the 'biggest eBay auction ever'. If you win, you get your name or company logo
"shown on the white space at BiggestEbayAuction.com for ONE FULL YEAR!"

Starting bid $150,000.

Wow. And here I thought I was the only one who thought Forehead Logo Branding would be a fun thing to do, about a year ago.
