Forget About Transparency: $how $ome $kin!

Good news for all you wannabe Mad Men (and Women)! There's now an alternative to getting into advertising: becoming an advertisement. That's right. Anyone with untouched skin space and no self-image issues can now create an online profile and pimp...I mean, rent your most personal space to hungry advertisers willing to shell out considerable coin for the services of a living, breathing billboard.

Sound ridiculous? Don't be too hasty to judge. Not only will this gig not interfere at all with your daily routine, but think of the implications - or rather lack thereof - for your diet. The rail-thin model look will be replaced by "rotund but resourceful," and your extra pounds will be worth their weight, or at least surface area, in new ad revenue.

Personally, I couldn't be more behind this movement. And though my forehead belongs to Aquent for the next 3 years ("Register with Aquent and this won't be you"), I do still have some available space left on my abs.
