Ads everywhere

While Alex Tew successfully sold every pixel in his Million dollar Homepage and Sacha Chua managed to sell ads on her laptop lid, this mother had her forehead tattooed with a web address of gambling site for $10,000.

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.

MyDestiny Cable

Just applied for mydestiny cable internet two days ago thru sir alan of tipidpc. Mydestiny haven’t called us but sir alanyu told me that we are scheduled on august 31, that was yesterday, and subject to delay by 3 days.

We tried applying for PLDTs myDSL but our area is not covered, so we’re sticking to mydestiny and check if it’s good. I’ll post some feedbacks and speed tests when I got connected. For now, am still stuck with this old school dial up.
