There is a mom out there selling space on her (very cute) son.  I’m not quite sure why this doesn’t feel right to me, but it doesn’t.  Although it seems like the mom is doing it with the right intentions, there’s just something off (to me) about branding your child.  It also turns out that there are women out there selling advertising space on their pregnant bellies.  I know that pregnancy and babies are "hot" right now, but I think that these types of actions are taking things a bit far. Personally I would run away from any advertiser who would put their temporary tattoo on a kid’s head or a pregnant stomach for marketing purposes…but that’s just me.
