Smith shows off the new ad site. She plans to use the $10,000 to send her son Brady, left, to a private school.

"It feels like someone is taking a pin and just stabbing you with it,"

Duhhhhhh..........Because it is?

[wideawake]

I'm sick of this company's antics.

[TheOtherOne]

That's worse than I imagined.

[Cagey]

Don Brouse tattoos "Goldenpalace.com" on Kari Smith's forehead. Brouse and his staff at ASI Tattoo spent nearly seven hours trying to talk Smith out of it.

[Phantom Lord]

I'm sick of this company's antics.

If the company initiated this you would have a point. But this idiot lady put her forehead up for auction and Golden Palace won.

[So Cal Rocket]

Let's just hope the kid inherited his father's brains.

[Corin Stormhands]

Is the son gonna get one that says "I'm with Stupid?"

[newgeezer]

Dermagraphology ping.

Brady, seated nearby on the floor as tattoo artist Don Brouse -- in permanent black block letters -- branded her forehead with the Web site domain GoldenPalace.com.

Now if this isn't the mark of the beast, I do not know what is...Truly dreadful...

Nothing says "I love my son" better than a casino advertisement tattooed on your forehead in large black letters.

I do not know how the tattoo artist did not refuse to do this.

[Dems_R_Losers]

Just damn.

[retrokitten]

"Will it go numb?" she asked. "It'll go as numb as your brain," Brouse replied. "My brain is already numb," she said, laughing.

LMAO! Score one for tattoo man, tattoo mom zero.

Someone please call DCFS!!! This is horrifying.

[Reagan79]

The press alone paid for the advertisement. Is this forever or for like a year?

[OB1kNOb]

"My brain is already numb," she said, laughing....."To everyone else, it seems like a stupid thing to do."

Truer words were never spoken.

[frogjerk]

Smith said she doesn't think she'll ever regret having the permanent logo on her forehead, and her son promised to get good grades.

And when he flunks out what are you going to do...

[Klatuu]

Reminds me of that parody Rush has where some fool has the misspelled name of his band (Maroon) tattooed on his forehead.

[Just another Joe]

I'm sick of this company's antics.

It's not the company, it's the people.
It's not like this company, normally, goes out and solicits people for this.
If the people put up the space, the company seems to like skin for advertising.

[Just Kimberly]

You know - I have to give the lady credit.

In this nutso world, where one can barely manage to keep gas in the car and food on the table - she has sacirficed something personal to see her son succeed.

KUDO'S!!

If someone paid me, I'd do it! JK
