Would You Let Someone Advertise On Your House If They Paid Your Mortgage?

Like the 2011 version of selling your forehead to an online casino company wielding a painful tattoo needle, Adzookie’s offering to pay your mortgage for as long as you can put up with advertising their eyesore-inducing logo, as seen in the Photoshopped image above.

Although the US mobile advertiser hasn’t started painting anyone’s houses just yet, according to Adzookie’s CEO they’ve been inundated with requests—over 1,000 of them so far. Applicants must “like” Adzookie on Facebook first (which might suggest this is all one big publicity stunt—never!), and they do have several other caveats:

“You must own your home. It cannot be rented or leased. We’ll paint the entire outside of the house, minus the roof, the windows and any awnings. Painting will take approximately 3 – 5 days. Your house must remain painted for at least three months and may be extended up to a year. If, for any reason, you decide to cancel after three months or if we cancel the agreement with you, we’ll repaint your house back to the original colours.”

I’m glad they’re offering to repaint the house afterwards—given how much a job like that can cost, it’d almost be enough to make the homeowner beg on the doorsteps of Adzookie again. [Adzookie via Wired UK]
