OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A Web-page designer who auctioned off the use of his forehead for advertising space is letting it go to his head.
Andrew Fischer, 20, of Omaha, who put his forehead for sale on eBay as advertising space, received $37,375 on Friday to advertise the snoring remedy, SnoreStop.
Fischer will display the SnoreStop logo on his forehead for one month.
"I look forward to an enjoyable association with Andrew _ a man who clearly has a head for business in every sense of the word," SnoreStop CEO Christian de Rivel said.
"People will always comment on something out of the ordinary," Fischer said in his sales pitch. "People like weird."
But there were limits: He refused from the outset to be the conduit for any message or product deemed tasteless or unacceptable in traditional advertising formats.

I would do this. For $40,000/month, I will shave my head and allow a second "ad" on the back on my head.
For an additional $10,000/month, space is available the top of my head.
If even more space is needed, an additional $10,000/month can get you both sides of my head. -
I wonder how many people are ebaying their foreheads now...MacLeod: I guess youre lucky Polk has such lax hiring standards.
Josh: Damn skippy! -

Forget foreheads. I would be interested in placing an ad across a well-endowed (min. 44DD) female chest in a very, very low-cut dress or blouse.:DProud and loyal citizen of the Digital Domain and Solid State Country!
