 |
|
A friend called me this weekend to let me know that he'd seen a poster (for my school) featuring me! I remember having some pictures taken for a pamphlet, but wasn't informed that I'd be part of an advertising campaign.
Anybody caught a glimpse of my now highly-recognizable (thanks CNN and Chris Neil) mug?
If they'd asked my permission, I would have been embarrassed but probably would have said 'yes.' However, it bothers me that they didn't ask. Any advice?

I'm keeping an eye out for it but I haven't seen it yet. I think my parents would get a kick out of a picture of me beside the billboard. |

this is funny ... but in quite poor taste!  especially considering that kermo was one of the heroes responsible for the kiddy fiddler's capture.
kermo - post a pic if you see the billboard. i'm sure everyone would love to see it!! |

They didn't have your permission. That's sooooooooo not cool. They owe you a modeling fee. Pamplet does not equal subway campaign. |

A former co-worker had stills taken for the cover of the school magazine. Then was in Kangnam one day to discover her face on the school's HQ covering 5 storeys. She was a little...shocked they didn't mention this to her. |

| Yeah, I'm going through more or less the same situation at my school. Nothing like having two of the teachers unroll a banner with a 15 foot me on it. I was told I would be in the pamphlet, but I wasn't ready for the banners and the posters... |

I think they would! That would make a great picture to send home. You standing next to the poster of you. |

Response: "Well, I don't appreciate not being told about this. I either want some money or for the billboards to be taken down."
Followed by teeth sucking and "I think it is... not possible." |

| I was under the impression that you have to sign a permission form before your image can be used in public. |
