Iowa Man Tattoos Face for 6 Figure Payout LOL (PIC)
 

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!




The Iowa man, 48, was arrested Thursday night by Davenport cops on a warrant for failing to appear in court to answer a misdemeanor charge of operating a motor vehicle without the owner?s consent, according to a jail booking sheet.

But enough about Winkelman?s criminal entanglements, it?s his forehead tattoo that is worth further discussion. Winkelman is pictured at right in a mug shot snapped after his bust last week.

Winkelman became a human billboard for the radio station KORB in late-2000 after a disc jockey offered listeners a six-figure payout if they tattooed the FM station?s call letters and logo on their forehead. Winkelman and his stepson, Richard Goddard, went to a local tattoo parlor and each emerged with forehead ink promoting ?93 Rock,? the ?Quad City Rocker.?

Of course, when the men came calling for the cash, station brass explained that the offer was a practical joke, just a wacky radio stunt. Winkelman and his relative sued, claiming that the station sought to have listeners permanently marked so that they ?could be publicly scorned and ridiculed for their greed and lack of common good sense."

Within months of the lawsuit?s filing, Winkelman dismissed his complaint against the DJ and Cumulus Broadcasting, KORB?s owner. Goddard?s case was later dismissed by a judge when he failed to appear for court proceedings.

Since Winkelman got the tattoo KORB?s format and call letters have changed. The former hard rock station is now known as KQCS, Star 93.5. The adult contemporary station advertises itself as playing ?Today?s Best Variety!? (2 pages)

great! now who's going to work at nasa...

The radio station might also give you benefits if you turn up the volume of the sound to the loudest sound and create the sound in a densely populated area in the city.

That pretty much sums up a great swath of true American meat bags right there.

It's hilarious that the "93 Rock Quad City Rocker” station explained to Winkelman that the offer was a practical joke.

dude looks pretty dumb.

Looking at the picture... I'd say that the tattoo improved his appearance.

I thought for a minute Big_D went mainstream :1orglaugh

is that sly's dad?

Whatever happened to Big_D? I last heard he started chasing the dragon or something

his son has one as well i heard on the radio yesterday

fuckers pay a man!

lol next time he'll check it first !!

I'm sorry, but I feel sorry for the guy ;( Maybe one day he could get laser removal or something lol

he looks like the kinda guy that would have blown that 'six figure" amount in about six months...

48?! Dude looks 60.

It doesn't cost six figures to get a forehead tattoo :winkwink:

Must be related to Big D's family.

This radio station should definitely pay for their action. Clearly that guy as mental issues. I fucking hate these people that think this is funny or cool branding to do.

And the artist that did this would be cast away from the tattoo industry in a flash if his name came out. All the the tattoo artists I know would turn around such job no matter what the payout was.

Pathetic and sad :2 cents: :(

No, what is pathetic and sad is the fact TCG hasn't had a working site in weeks and you still run around like a moron as if nothing is wrong.

Why did he dismiss the case? The radio DJ should be fired.

Lol,what a idiot,he deserves to be ridiculed

From what I heard on the radio there was no real contest, he was just joking around on the air and this guy went out on his own and did it. He probably had a good case however

Read the first comment listed after the article.

You are out of prison now? Or is someone else posting from your nick?

What an idiot.... Why did he drop the law suit??? He should have at least gone all the way to get his money!!

PS: Feel free to rep me!
