What would you do for $10,000?
A 30 year old woman from Salt Lake City auctioned off her forehead to be tattooed for advertising. After a bunch of bids reaching $999.99, a gambling site finally met her asking price of $10,000.
$10,000???? That's it??? It would take a lot more money to do something so blantantly permanent (and stupid) to myself.
I have no idea how much private school costs these days, but I'd imagine $10K won't get you that far. So what will she do when her son wants to go to college... auction off each facial cheek for $20,000 a piece???
I can understand the mother's willingness to sacrifice everything to give her son a better life, but this is ridiculous!
For all the help this money may immediately give her son, it's not going to help pay for his shrink bills from years of torture for being the kid with a freak mother with a tattoo on her forehead!
What an idiot!
