G.R.i.D. (Get Rich in Dallas)

I got this email today. The idea is great but the item looks, well, ludicrous? Among other things. But hey, if you’ve been lookin’ for a lady counter (or even men I guess), then make your bids!

Hello,

We wanted to give you the heads up that Ludacris is auctioning off his AXE CLIX blinged-out clicker used to count all the ladies checking him out in his “Money Maker” video with Pharrell. Check out the video at http://www.defjam.com/site/artist_av.php?artist_id=308 (click on the “Money Maker” video link).

All proceeds from the top eBay bid will benefit The Ludacris Foundation.

The winning bid will be named November 11. Take a look at http://stores.ebay.com/Universal-Music-Store.

Please let me know if you may be able to include a mention in your publication. If you have any questions, you may contact me via email at emily.zielinski@edelman.com or at 312-233-1293.
