Have A Street Named After You In Hungarian Village

A cash-strapped Hungarian village is offering the chance of immortality to anyone willing to pay to have a street named after them, and it's hoping world famous celebrities will take them up on the offer.

The small village of Ivad is charging around $500 per metre to name its eight streets and guarantees on that the name will not be changed for 300 years.

"If, for example Barbra Streisand, whom I like a lot, has no street named after her, she may decide to have one in our village", says mayor Gabor Ivady.

But people wanting to visit the street named after them will be disappointed as Hungarian law does not allow roads to be named after the living.

Instead, the name change will take effect after the person's death.
