An Austin company uses bald heads for advertising

An Austin man's head has gone viral. The founder of BaldLogo.com says he's looking for bald guys who are willing to use their heads to make a little extra cash.

Brandon Chicotsky says he walks around public events with a sponsor's ad on his head.

"If anyone is bald and is willing to go through a bit of training with us, they may contract and become a part of our company and earn extra income on their bald head."

It's a fun idea but Chicotsky says the inspiration was a serious children's disease.

"I began selling ad space on bald people's heads and donating a large chunk of that money to kids with Alopecia Areata, which is an autoimmune disease that causes baldness."

Chicotsky says clients can get ahead in advertising for $320.
