Bald Billboards Wednesday, September 10, 2008 * E-Mail * Print * Share: o Digg o Facebook o StumbleUpon o Post to MySpace! o o Attention bald men: New Zealand’s national airline needs you! Air New Zealand is offering to pay bald travelers 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 $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.
Scott says: Cool, I’ve always wanted to travel to New Zealand and this will be a good way to pay for part of the trip. :)
