Bald Heads as a B2B Marcom Medium?

Can you imagine me on an EMS007 video, or walking the halls of SMTAI wearing this tattoo? - /_images/1116/rick_short_for_rent_tattoo_1.jpg

According to an e-newsletter that I just received from WOMMA.org:

Kiwi-Flavored Tattoos
---------------------------------
Billboards, magazines, television-there's no shortage of advertising options in the marketing toolkit. But what about bald heads? Air New Zealand is launching an innovative new campaign. It will hold a casting call to select 30 adults (18+) to serve as walking billboards for 10 days. The selected billboards will have their heads shaved and branded with a temporary henna tattoo. The tattoo will be visible for approximately 10 days (with one reapplication after five days) and read "Need a change? Head down to New Zealand. www.airnewzealand.com". The message reflects Air New Zealand's current "Depart a Californian. Return a Kiwi." advertising campaign communicating the potential for a life-change.

As a "bald head", I'm not so sure that this would work in our B2B Marcom advertising arena.

What do you think?
