5W Public Relations has lined up Jimmy McMillan, who is running for New York State Governor, as spokesperson for BidHere.com, auction site. McMillan heads the "Rent is Too Damn High" ticket.
5W CEO Ronn Torossian told O'Dwyer's a video in which McMillan, who is also known as "The Black Hulk Hogan," was shot at 5W's Manhattan headquarters.
In that piece running on YouTube, McMillan says people are working 40 hours a week and holding another job so they can earn enough to pay for the latest electronic gadget.
His alternative: visit BidHere.com to bid on spanking new gear at up to 80 percent off. Why visit, "Cause the Rent is too Damn high," advises McMillan.
Through November, BidHere is running a campaign in which people bid to win a month's rent of up to $1,200.
The promotion is not expected to interfere with McMillan's plans to straighten out the Empire State.
