A mother had her forehead tattooed with the web address of a gambling site after auctioning off advertising space on her head to pay for her son's school fees. Karolyne Smith has to live with a permanent billboard on her forehead after she accepted Goldenpalace.com's offer of $10,000 for the 'advertising space'. She needed the money to send her son Brady to a private school.
Karolyne said: ""I really want to do this. To everyone else, it seems like a stupid thing to do. To me, $10,000 is like a million dollars."
"I only live once and I'm doing it for my son. It's a small sacrifice to build a better future for my son."
Karolyne did not take the decision lightly. She discussed it for more than three weeks with her boyfriend Jeremy Williams.
Smith's eBay auction attracted more than 27,000 hits and 1,000 watchers. Bidding reached $999.99 before Goldenpalace.com, an Internet gambling company met Smith's $10,000 asking price. Goldenpalace.com also gave her another $5,000 for her trouble.
Another person, inspired by Karolyne is currently auctioning his forehead as ad space on ebay. |

| You would think more money should be earned, I agree. However, the site had no guarentee she'd actually do it unless there was a photo. The photo might have costed money too. |

| I am completely old fashioned, and therefore I hate tatooes!! I think they are just plain stupid... That said, I think it´s amazing what this woman did for her son!! I mean, who are we to judge? Who knows how badly they needed this money, right? |

I feel Silvia is right, maybe this mom just had no other way to make this much money and they might really need or at least she really wants to make her son's life better by doing almost "anything"...  |
