    What do you think of this idea....

    I live next to NYC. I was thinking... I can walk around w/ a billboard on me around NYC. I will sell billboard space to websites/companies etc. Then I will take pictures of me all over NYC as proof I was there.

    Do you think people would buy space on the billboard? Is this a good idea?
    I was thinking I can get like $200 (maybe sell 20 spots.... $10 each). Walk around for a couple of hours with it on. Then with the money I made from it I'll be able to go to a very nice restaurent or club at night :)

    Don't they have trucks, busses and taxis that do that?

    You'd be better off paying a homeless person $4 per hour to do it for you. :p

    Yup... but small sites can't really afford it. And people have come accostume to ignoring ads like those but I think people would notice me... at least a little more.


    That is true ;)

    I have a better idea if you wanna dare.

    Shave off your head and get a temporary tatto (not the permanent kind) or if your hair stylist is for real, he can leave off hair marking the advertisement text.

    You can go around the streets with your shaven head with the advertisement. When you grow hair next time, you can look for another client. You can charge more this way.

    But, it takes a daring man to do this :D Trust me on this.
