Nobel Prize in Marketing - Nomination #2

"Hey baby, what's your sign?"

This is my second nomination for Reload's 2005 Nobel Prize in Marketing award. This nomination goes to Andrew Fischer (above), and SnoreStop, a company that paid $37,375 to stamp their logo on his forehead for a month.

"People will always comment on something out of the ordinary," Fischer said in his sales pitch. "People like weird."

Speaking of weird, I just saw a Mr. Show episode where NASA was going to blow up the moon and everyone was all for it until a chimp used sign language to ask why. I just hope that when we have NASCAR fans with as many tattoos as the cars they root for and bartenders with "Jack Daniels" tattooed on their foreheads, the smartest of the chimps will take off their Animal Planet T-shirts and let the zookeepers know we've gone too far.
