Going bald is a difficult part of any man's life. To make matters worse, procedures and products to ward off a skinhead can get really pricey. However, it seems as though there's now at least one way to make a little money off of your hairless pate.

New Zealand's national airline is looking for 50 male passengers to have their bald heads temporarily tattooed with an ad message about their new check-in service. The airline is willing to pay the equivalent of $666 for those who sport the so-called "cranial billboards."

Steve Bayliss, the airline's marketing manager explained, "How better to tell our customers that Air New Zealand is going to do something about [long check-in queues] ... than through messaging they can read while they're standing in a queue themselves?"

While Bayliss' promotional stunt seems a bit odd, we're more concerned with the $666 fee being paid. Obviously, this raises red flags that the promotion could simply be a ploy by Satan to purchase souls. Not surprisingly, the Prince of Darkness could not be reached for comment.

While that's a strange way to advertise, these ads are just plain racy...


Racy Ads

    Thanks to PETA's efforts, gratuitous celebrity nudity and animal activism now go together like bacon and eggs.

    Is this some sort of post-feminist feminism? Exploitation maybe? Or just a nice brassiere-enhanced rack? While gawking, we forgot the questions.

    Anyone who spends a lot of time on the Internet knows that when it comes to advertising, American Apparel brought the sexy early and keeps bringing it often. This one features porn star Lauren Phoenix showing Web surfers everywhere the proper way to rock tube socks.

    Gladly.

    Sexy Advertisements

    JBS has based their whole men's underwear advertising campaign around the concept that men don't want to look at other men in any state of undress. We approve. (Notice there were no Abercrombie & Fitch ads on this list.)

    Due to heavy airbrushing, these rumps are about at as real as the drawn-in butterflies. But wouldn't it be nice?

    This promo poster, currently blanketing subway stations and bus stops of major cities everywhere, cheats by bragging about just how racy it is. But it does make you want to check out the show.

    Controversy-courting Web hosting service Go Daddy lampooned the nipple-gate backlash in this top-heavy Super Bowl spot.

    In perhaps the strangest ad to ever titillate, this TV spot for a Canadian convenience store has two scantily clad lesbians making out at the base of a tree. The tree then interrupts their heavy petting, so they call it a pervert, before hacking it with axes until it spews orange juice into a cup. (We can't make this stuff up.)

    Tom Ford ads never beat around the bush, so to speak, and the only way this one could be less subtle is if they forgot to add the label.
