Web hosting company Globat.com buys the rights to a walking, talking billboard
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28, 2006 — Los Angeles-based Globat.com(R), the world-leader in Performance Web Hosting(TM), today announced it has bought the rights to advertise on the back of a Maine man's head via an eBay auction. Mark Greenlaw, 25, is set to have his head tattooed on Tuesday, February 28, 2006 with the Globat.com logo.
Mark Greenlaw, a father to three children and resident of Biddeford, Maine, came up with the idea to help support his growing family in early January. The auction was quickly seen by tens of thousands of people and attracted media interest with radio show appearances and newspaper mentions across the country before it came to the attention of Globat.com.
