Renting forehead space

As I wrote Jan. 26, John Bilgalke, owner of Beatnik's and editor of The News Rocket, was trying to sell a secret report on eBay on how to sell your forehead toadvertisers.

To no one's surprise -- including John's -- no one bid on the report.

I've also noticed that the trend is dying quickly. When I firstreported on John's secret report, an eBay search for forehead revealed308 items. Today, it only revealed 213. It was a dubious trend, at best.

On further review: The trend is not completely dead. Read Belleville News-Democrat columnist Wally Spiers' take on this H&R Block worker who is using her head to advertise H&R Block.
