You can call me anything you want for $500,000.00

Stole the idea from a TV show.

For $1M I'll tattoo your company's logo on my ass and walk around in a speedo for a weekend.

I can just see Coke paying %500,000 to name the kid and he grows up to be a mass murderer, child molester or a used car salesman.

What great parents these people are...

NOT.

Selfish pricks. I can't imagine how angry that kid is going to be at them for being named "Coca-Cola Black". That kind of humiliation isn't worth a free ride through life.

Speak for yourself...
If they wanna pay me $1 million, i'll leagally change my name to Coca-Cola... i'll just go around &quot;Hi .. my name is Coca-Cola... you can call me Jeff&quot;
aint no thing.

heh, i think i will create another ebay account and then bid on this. I mean, it'd be pretty cool when they ask the parents &quot;any bids yet&quot; on national TV and the parents said &quot;just one, but it was a fake one&quot;, and I can be like, THAT WAS ME!!!

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I'd like to see someone win and have the kid named &quot;My parents are idiots&quot;

hahahaha!!!! I know a lot of teenage moms would be eligible for that.:Q


I think it is a cool idea. They never stated that the kid would never get his name changed. $500,000.00 to name my kid and then in 2 years change it. Sounds like a plan to me.
