I'm gonna be rich!

The recent story of the Nebraska man who auctioned off advertising space on his forehead is only the latest example of the commodification of everything. This story is not so much a lesson about greed—his forehead was apparently not big enough to garner bids for more than a few hundred dollars—as a statement about the extent to which we are able to become detached from even those things, like our foreheads, to which we are most obviously attached.


Mine's gotta be worth thousands! At least!

I can now pay for further graduate work. I am so glad that my big cranium and large forehead has meaning. I wonder how much I can get if i shave my head and rent the whole space?

^ SO hilarious! You'd better not take all the forehead-advertising money before I have a chance to offer mine! Amazing picture, by the way - I love it of you both!
