New Zealand Airline Wants to Use Bald Men as Walking Billboards
| The Associated Press | |
| WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- New Zealand's national airline is offering to pay bald travelers to use their heads -- literally -- in a new advertising campaign. Air New Zealand said it wants 70 recruits to stand in lines in three airports -- while wearing temporary tattoos on the back of their heads so the displays can be seen by people lining up behind them.The airline would pay 1,000 New Zealand dollars ($660) for each walking billboard, a company official said. The tattoos will promote a new system that is meant to reduce check-in waiting times. Air New Zealand marketing manager Steve Bayliss described the campaign as "a bit of fun." "It's a ... tattoo on the back of someone's head, so they have to have their head shaved or be bald already," he told National Radio on Wednesday. "It will be an advantage for them to be bald already." The tattoos would fade or wash off after about two weeks, he said. Bayliss added that he won't be part of the program since he was "doing OK" in the hair department. |
Sign Darin up! He's got a nicely shaped bald head that would make a lovely billboard. Sounds like easy $$$. (Better than donating plasma.) Too bad we don't live in New Zealand.
My handsomely bald hubbie
Your hubby is artistic. Bet he could pull off an Australian accent no prob.
ReplyDeleteProblem is since your man is so handsome (don't tell him I said that or his head will explode and that would be disgusting) people would be looking at the front of his face instead of the back of his head......ya, better keep him home where you can keep an eye on him.
Makes me want to shave my husband's V head and move to New Zealand.
