Really, it's almost cool... but I'd rather own my body 100% all the time.

But she was Hooters Waitress, I'm not sure she did own her body 100% of the time. May as well make some extra dough off it.

idiot.
"Other people may say you're degrading yourself," he said. "I don't see it as any different from wearing any kind of logo. They're wearing Nike shoes. It's no different, only they're getting paid."

If you're going to buy running shoes, you might as well just suck it up and eat the logo, because most shoes will have some kind of logo on them. We're buying the shoes, not the logo. Good luck finding a genuine pair of Nike (or whatever) shoes without their logo on them.

When you place an ad on your forehead, you're screaming "HEY LOOK AT ME I'M AN ATTENTION ***** AND A CORPORATE ****". It's distracting when people want to talk to you, and only people lacking this much self-respect (read: Hooters girls) wouldn't notice it.

Sigh, advertising...

I wish people would learn that the best form of advertising is simply releasing a good product, a couple magazine ads and press statements, and let people spread the word.

I couldn't agree more with Dave Balter. This kind-of crap will blow over. Eventually there will be a lawsuit of some kind (advertiser vs. human posterboard), and it'll all just fall apart. And when it does, I'll be there smiling.
