Dear God I hope people don't actually own fatheads.

I don't get the hate for Fatheads.My entire basement is sorta a football shrine. I have a bunch of those Todd McFarlane 12" players, framed, autographed jerseys, banners, a few of those SuperBowl cokes, helmets....ect.... I have an Emmitt Smith and Ladanian Tomlinson Fathead that I haven't gotten around to hanging up. They certainly won't look out of place. I have a buddy who has a Eli Manning Fathead. Besides busting his balls and saying Eli sucks, everybody who goes to his house comments how cool it is.

Yeah, seems like a great thing for kids, but I can't imagine a grown man having one hung up. I guess if you already have a Football Room like the poster above it might work in a cheeky/ironic kind of way.TitusIII said:

Asked my 5 year old which fathead he wanted. Thought he would get spiderman or batman. He picked out Chewbacca. Looks pretty cool, 7' wookie watching out for monsters. Oh, and the Eagles emblem on the other wall.

I was thinking I could put one on my ceiling...

Once you reach a certain age there is no way you would have one. That age is just different for everybody.I think these things run $100.00, way over priced.Yeah, seems like a great thing for kids, but I can't imagine a grown man having one hung up.

If someone gave me one I would hang it up in the garage anyways. no way I drop a hundo on one, not even for the kids.Once you reach a certain age there is no way you would have one.

I don't have one, but they make it appear to be easy to put up. What about putting them up makes it a nightmare?

I could be an idiot...but it was a two man job for some Dolphins 'heads we put up in the stadium. If any part of the back touches another part...they stick to each other. And it's also very easy to apply with wrinkles or or hang crooked. You have to start at the bottom and apply inch by inch so it stays flat, while also holding the entire un-stuck portion up so it doesn't stick to itself.It took two of us about an hour to hang a Marino and Taylor fathead correctly...and was frustrating.QUEZILLA said:I don't have one, but they make it appear to be easy to put up.

Putting a fathead up on your wall is the equivalent of a preteen girl putting up boyband posters.
Do you want to be a preteen girl?

I wanted Michael Booker's, but it was sold out. He's holding rookie cards of fellow draft classmates Sam Madison, Ronde Barber, Chad Scott, and Darren Sharper.

No kidding. If they were literally 1/10 the price, then I'd have no problem with it.

I don't own any, but they look better than a lot of crap people put on walls.Maybe the hate comes from the endless #### commercials about them. Maybe a commercial every 2 minutes is too many.I don't get the hate for Fatheads.My entire basement is sorta a football shrine.

Kudos to you...you are raising your child correctly...no one messes with Chewbacca and that little boy of yours already knows it. I'd like to see Urlacher try to get by Chewie. Not happening...

Two years ago, when these things started getting popular, Fatheads controlled the distribution by not allowing sports retailers to carry. Then they opened it up to a few national accounts...like HSN, DSG, etc.
Now they are calling the retailers, that they originally denied, to plea for business...and those retailers are saying no.
This economy is not prime for a $100 sticker.

I bought them all. There's still time...I wanted Michael Booker's, but it was sold out. He's holding rookie cards of fellow draft classmates Sam Madison, Ronde Barber, Chad Scott, and Darren Sharper.
