What would St. Patrick’s Day be without a corporate-sponsored gynecological visit? Invasion of privacy means nothing to a Florida woman who has agreed to have a Web-hosting company sponsor her trip to the gynecologist on St. Patrick’s Day. “During her visit to the doctor, she will be wearing a temporary tattoo of the Globat.com logo on her chest, and will then hit the clubs handing out St. Patrick’s Day-themed Globat.com T-shirts, hats and stickers,” says the press release. It’s unclear whether she will be allowed to funnel copious amounts of green beer to deal with the embarrassment of the situation. The lucky woman’s name is “Shimmer,” and she’s described in the release as “a long-time eBay celebrity” from Fort Lauderdale who is “not new to extreme marketing.” Why does that not surprise us? In fact, says Globat.com’s CEO, “She’s shown she has a lot of skill in unique promotions.” Say no more. At least it’s for a good cause: cervical-cancer prevention awareness. UPDATE: Globat.com’s other current stunt is its impending sponsorship of a live birth. From the Web site: “The mother-to-be, Asia Francis, is a 21-year-old resident of St. Louis, Missouri, and was expected to give birth in mid-April, but is now expected to give birth earlier. The due date is March 14, and everyone is excited to meet the baby girl, Samiah Wynn Francis!” This is the kind of company that keeps GoldenPalace.com up at night. —Posted by Tim Nudd

Cervical cancer is a good cause, however GLOBAT seems to be a little perverted, so to speak. They seem to have an interest in things involving female organs. And as far as that lady with the birth..That is gross! Why would you want to share such a private moment..A gyno visit is bad enough, but THE BIRTH OF A CHILD?? I am sure you daughter will be disgusted with you when they are old enough to realize what you have done. SHAME ON YOU! Shame on all of you!! PERVERTS!!!!!!!!!!!

I happen to think this is a great story. This young lady cares enough to share her GLORIOUS birth of her child with others. SHAME on you for bashing her! At least she is GIVING life and not TAKING a life!! Grow up people this is natural. I guess your mothers were to embarressed to share you with the world!

Yeah I don't think the gynecological visit was a great buy for globat, because she seems to give people a bad name. However, the sponsored birth was great. Cute girl, nice auction and overall fun to watch. What is wrong with telling the world about the birth of your first child? It is not like they put Kootchie pictures for all to see. Just photos of the mom and baby. Well done!!
