As half of the world probably knows by now, a couple of months ago I had a crazy idea which I thought would help me get out of my terrible financial situation: I tried to raffle off my flat on the website www.elpisodeloscincoeuros.com.
The idea was ridiculuos but quite simple: some lucky participant would win a flat (free of mortgage and taxes) for only 5 €, and I would manage to escape my financial problems.
However, Spanish laws would not allow me to do it and finally all my atempts were in vain.
I am trying to get out of this financial crisis and I can’t find the way out...
I tried to sell the flat, but no one would pay what it cost when I bought it.
I rented the place but never got a month’s rent paid.
I tried to raffle it and the government wouldn´t let me.
Now I find myself in a much worse situation than I was before (but hopefully better than that of tomorrow)... so there is only one thing left that I see I can do:
I´m auctioning my bottom.
Yes, you read correctly. I am auctioning my bottom with one single goal in mind: to not let the bank take my flat!
So here you have my bottom, and a button. Press the second one and participate so that you can see all over my white bottom the flag of your country or association very soon.
Anyone who wishes to make a donation is welcome to do so. In change, I will have tattooed over my whole bottom the flag of the country with the highest final contribution.
I know the idea might be just as simple and ridiculous as that of the 5€ flat lottery. But please consider it is a result of my desperation.
It might be sad, or funny, strange, stupid... Whatever you want to call it, but I will have your flag tattooed on my bottom on May 15th 2009, if I am able to pay the flat and the place I have received the most money from is your country.
So, whether you are Brasilian, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, German, from the United States of America, Polish, English, Norwegian, Portuguese, Basque, Romanian, Italian, French, Swiss, Australian, Canadian, Senegalese, Spanish, gay, a brave soldier, or not.... Wherever you are from, if you want to see your flag on someone else’s bottom, (pretty firm, a bit hairy, in its 30s, a bit ugly (like most men’s), all you have to do is contribute so that my flat is not repossesed.
Just that simple, just that silly...
What about you…
…would you have your bottom tattooed if it meant it saved you from the same crisis?
