Is This The Mugshot Of A Dude Who Got Tricked Into Getting A 93.5 Tat On His Forehead

When a deejay offered six figures for a forehead tattoo, David Jonathan Winkelman did it—and then everyone laughed at him and said it was a joke. Now he has to relive the humiliation with a mugshot gone viral. Winkelman became a human billboard for the radio station KORB in late-2000 after a disc jockey offered listeners a six-figure payout if they tattooed the FM station's call letters and logo on their forehead. Winkelman and his stepson, Richard Goddard, went to a local tattoo parlor and each emerged with forehead ink promoting "93 Rock," the "Quad City Rocker." Of course, when the men came calling for the cash, station brass explained that the offer was a practical joke, just a wacky radio stunt. Winkelman and his relative sued, claiming that the station sought to have listeners permanently marked so that they "could be publicly scorned and ridiculed for their greed and lack of common good sense." Both complaints were eventually dismissed. KORB has since switched to an "adult contemporary" format and has changed its call letters to KQCS, or "Star 93.5: Today's Best Variety." Arrested last week for failing to appear in court over a misdemeanor charge for operating a motor vehicle without the owner's consent, Winkelman's awkward mug shot reawakened his decade-old humiliation of yore.

So yeah this story is like 10 years old, but any time this guy gets arrested for the rest of his life I'm gonna bring this shit back up. Cause I don't care how redneck you are, you need to do a little more research into the payment method before you go getting branded square in the face with some dick jockey's logo. And how is it that this dude's lawyer couldn't milk a dime outta this thing. You best believe I'd be bringing in Jackie Chiles and I'd come outta this one with at least 5 million for my discomfort. But besides getting no money for any of this, the worst part about this whole thing is that 93.5 switched to some adult contemporary bullshit and lost this guys street cred forever. Have fun getting hit on by Kenny G fans the rest of your life.
