April Fools Joke 2008 from Laptops Direct.
Body Advertising stunt.

• Are you looking for extra income?
• Could you use £5000 for doing no extra work?
• Have you always thought about getting a tattoo but didn't know which design to choose?

We're looking to recruit body advertisers to help promote our flagship brand. There's up to £5000 available depending on where you want to put the tattoo.

With the average person coming into contact with around 3 million people in their lifetime we can really see the full potential of body advertising and we're willing to put our money where our mouth is.

Body Advertising isn't for everyone and we urge people to think very carefully before putting themselves forward. This is ideal for people who want to stand out from the crowd and don't mind being in the public eye. Please note that all applicants are thouroughly vetted before they are selected.

The first set of body advertisers have now been selected. If you're still interested in body advertising please check back on April 1st 2009 when we will start the process again.

We don’t just choose anyone to become a body advertiser, you will need to meet the following criteria before you're branded:

• You must take a drug test and successfully complete a short psychological questionnaire to ensure you are of sound mind
• You must be over 18 years of age and have had no previous mental health problems
• You must be a tattoo virgin - It would cramp our brand if there were other competing tattoos
• You must attend an annual check-up to ensure you have not removed the tattoo, have not had any other tattoos added and are still of sound mind.

Providing you meet the above criteria, we will pay for your tattoo to be done at our designated tattooist in Huddersfield and will pay you by cheque immediately afterwards. You will be responsible for your own transport to and from Huddersfield although for full forehead tattoos, we will pay for overnight accommodation as we want to do a brief medical check in the morning.

Each year, you will be asked to contact us to arrange an inspection of the tattoo. You will also be given an additional 20% of the original fee per annum upon completing the check up.

Please note numbers that initially numbers are limited to 50 . To express your interest, please email your name, address, date of birth and ideally a picture to bodyadvertising@laptopsdirect.co.uk.

There are varying amounts available depending on where the tattoo is placed.
