New Advertising Method-Tatoos

OK, I have to be an advertising geek. It's official. This weekend, while at dinner with my girlfriend, I freaked out and found the topic of this post. Advertising in the shape of temporary tattoos.

We were sitting relatively close to the entrance to Chipotle when a couple walked through the door. I looked up to see a tattoo on the guy's neck. I thought, how strange that someone would have a tattoo on their neck. It was even stranger that it said Beowulf. So, like an ill-mannered 4th grader, I continued to stare, till I remembered about the Beowulf movie that was coming out soon. And that this must be a form of advertising for the movie.

I've heard of boxers renting out their bodies as ad space with the same kind of temporary tattoos, but I've never thought of the general public doing the same. And it was amazing.

Oddly enough, a little later that night, we found the temporary tattoos in a cookie shop. I picked a few up (I have since lost them, I know, it blows).

Well that's enough rambling.
Peace
