Going bald? Earn travel $$ from Air New Zealand

Air New Zealand is looking for 75 baldies for an upcoming cranial billboard advertising campaign the airline is launching to inform passengers about its new check-in process. Come on ladies, you too. They’re paying 1,000 New Zealand dollars (or around $664 at today’s exchange rate) for the chosen globes.

The Cranial Billboard casting call is open to the public.
Caveat: You need to be a New Zealand resident and be there already.

Sept. 16, 2008: 12-2 p.m., Victoria Square, Christchurch

Sept. 17, 2008: 12-2 p.m. Frank Kitts Park, Wellington

Sept. 18, 2008: 12-2 p.m. Aotea Square, Auckland

The heads that pass muster will be required to wear a henna tattoo and carry the message for two weeks.

Although I’m not actually bald yet I think I’m at the stage where shaving my head bald is looking like a better and better option.

I’d just like to clarify, I won’t get paid to have the ad on my head but only actually stand a chance of winning. Is that right?
