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.

Now that is some serious dedication to her son.
Does she have to give the money back if she gets it removed? -
She'll need more than that to cover the cost of her son's analysis later on.

Hey lady ya got something right here...
moc.ecalapnedlog.www
is what she sees when she looks in the mirror. -
I think this is bizarre - what happens when she has to go to parent/teacher nights? Given the choice of this or going to a local public school and not having my mother have a gaming company ad tattooed on her forehead and, I know what I would want.
