WoW Insider is getting ready for BlizzCon!

Bodies For Sale

lease_your_body.jpgRecently, a woman auctioned off her forehead on eBay with the highest bidder winning the right to tattoo their company's insignia on it. The woman ended up getting $10,000 from GoldenPalace.com. Inspired by that, a new Miami start-up called Lease Your Body has been looking for good-looking people willing to rent out space on their bodies for advertisers in search of way to get some attention. The ads are tattooed temporarily on the models who can earn anywhere from $100 up to $5,000, the price is determined by the placement of the ad, the looks of the individual and an outgoing personality. All you Cyber-geeks will surely not be included. Since its launch in March, Lease Your Body has had more than 2,500 people sign up wanting to participate in the program. However, the company has been unable sign any contracts with advertisers. No surprise there but I am a little surprised that many people signed up for the "program." People could barely tolerate me when I placed post-it notes that read dumb@$$ on their backs as they walked by. Likewise, I doubt these paid-volunteers can tolerate it because it reads the same thing.
