If corporate sponsorship can save beleaguered sports teams, arenas, and schools, why not houses? Adzookie is offering to sponsor your mortgage in return for turning your house into a colorful billboard! You get an extra bonus if your home already needs a new coat of paint.
Adzookie launched the offer on its website Tuesday -- and by late afternoon, the company had already received more than 1,000 applications, according to Adzookie CEO Romeo Mendoza. One even came from a church.
"It really blew my mind," Mendoza said. "I knew the economy was tough, but it's sad to see how many homeowners are really struggling."
Adzookie intends to paint its logo and social media icons onto participating homes. Houses must remain painted for at least three months, and the agreement may be extended up to one year.

Somebody should be paying us to house these images in our brains. Phenomenal representation of form through the neural architecture of the brain is not a low-cost endeavour. The brain is the single most energy consuming organ in the entire human body. Now, I have to maintain this adspace in my cranium representing "Adzookie.com" and they aren't paying me for it. In-fact, they are paying this family to put the idea in my head, pretty much without my permission at all. I would like advertisers to begin paying me to look at their ads and housing it in the adspace inside my head.

Yeah, that's not tacky at all. I wonder if Oma can get a nice porn site to advertise on her house.

This is going to give homeowners associations nightmares. Needless to say, I'm all for it.

When I was in Kenya last summer, this was pretty standard there. Each corporation had its own colour pallet. It made for colourful towns and villages. However, I think it was mostly businesses that were done up.

Now I just want to live in an ad house while I work as a pizza driver in/near a metro and drive around in my ad car. Even if the economy was great I would still do it.
