In Japan, women's thighs are the new billboards

"An ad agency in Tokyo has begun paying women $121 a day to wear stickers on their thighs, Quartz reports. And so far, women seem to have no problem with their new billboard status, as 3,000 have signed up to participate.

There are a few other rules for the women. They need at least 20 friends on social networking sites (who doesn't in Japan?), and they need to post photos of themselves online wearing the sticker in two locations."

"So far, the stickers have focused mainly on the movie "Ted" and the band Green Day"

I couldn't believe it when I read this article!! But the funniest part is the comments about the news near the bottom of the page! I couldn't stop laughing at some of them

One guy wrote-

"in the United States you could put complete billboards on some thighs"

This one had me rolling,lol
"All of that and it says TED? By the way I'm a certified add sticker placer if you need to hire one"

Whole thing is hilarious!!!

I could do that for $120 a day.

My only reservation to volunteering is having to shave my legs to get the sticker on.
