Ananova:

A Belgian student has sold the foreheads of himself and his friends to pay for his 20th birthday party.

Kris Dries put up their foreheads as advertising space as he had no money to buy food or drink for the bash.

The eBay auction was won by a marketing firm in Waregem which will foot the bill for all party-goers who have the firm's logo painted on their foreheads for the night.

Any who do not want their foreheads used for advertising can still go to the party but they have to pay their own way.

Kris said he was delighted the winning bidder had agreed to pay for up to £1,750 worth of food and drink.

He said: "I was hoping to make 200 euro. Thanks to the sponsor I will be able to have an unforgettable 20th birthday.

"I'm looking for a suitable location, as I will now be able to invite a lot more friends than the 50 I had in mind."
