Students get ahead in business...

[Mrs Fish]

A marketing agency has launched a scheme to pay students who turn their foreheads into advertising billboards.



Cunning Stunts is offering students up to £4.30 an hour to wear a corporate logo on their head for a minimum of three hours each day.

The brand or product message is attached by a vegetable dye transfer.

The ForeheADS campaign has been launched in London, Leeds, Glasgow and Cardiff.

Youth pay-TV channel CNX has signed up to the scheme.

So my next question is would any of you students on here be desperate to enough to do this

[robp]

No way! I think its more of a gimic than a way of rasing cash.

Still, its easy money I suppose.

[Mrs Fish]

Ted, you could use it as a cheap way of advertsing the site

If they extend the scheme to beer bellies I could be onto a winner.

Way back when I was student one of the two best and unconventional ways we found of making money was.
1. Hand over your love porridge for cash at a fertillity clinic. (bit dificult this as if your juice wasn't packing enough orange content you got told and all your mates found out!!).
2. Hang around by the cop shop and get invited in for identity parades. (Bit dodgy the last one, on one occaision my mate who was innocent looked so much like the suspect, that the old lady involved had difficulty in telling them apart!!)

I don't see what the problem is. When drunk most students wander around with something on their head (be it a traffic cone, stupid hat or funny wig) so they may as well earn money for it.

Did that once as a student - the coppers came round the student bar looking for volunteers (1982ish).

Lineup parade was 6 students, all slightly on the piss, and then these two neathanderals with knuckles dragging and foreheads with more of a slope than the front of a Diablo came in... and were picked out in about a second, because the 'victim' knew who they were anyway.

Ku-ching... £5, thanks...

ditto, especially if they paid by the square foot.

How long do you reckon before celebrities start getting advertising stickers on their bodies.
Can you imagine somebody like J-Lo advertising anusol over her Arse cheeks as she walks into the oscars!!!
