Man tattoos face after radio station joke

September 28, 2010 (WLS) -- Everyone has regrets in life. But usually those
mistakes are not as obvious to everyone else.

David Jonathan Winkelman got the call letters and logo for radio station
KORB tattooed on his forehead.

The 48-year-old heard the station jokingly offer a six-figure payout for any
listeners who dared to do it.

When the station explained that it was just a stunt, Winkelman sued,
claiming the station was trying to permanently mark listeners so that they
could "be publicly scorned and ridiculed for their greed and lack of common
good sense."

The mug shot above is the result of Winkelman's arrest last week in
Davenport, Iowa. He's charged with failing to appear in court for operating
a motor vehicle without the owner's consent.

Winkleman's stepson got the tattoo as well in the same place. But he's had
some good luck -- no mug shot.

It gets worse. The radio station has since changed its call letters and
switched from hard rock to easy listening.
