Bumbvertising

[SirNik73]

I was listening to the radio today and heard this guy talking about how he is advertising his web site on the bottom of signs that are held by bums. he pays them like 10$ a day just to have his web site on the bottom of their sign. i think this is a good idea because the bums are actuly doing some work and getting payed for it... maybe they will be able to get some work out of this... or just buy more booz... o well figured that you guys might have an opinion on this.

sounds like a good cheap way to advertise ,  least he's helping out the homeless in some form

[mustanghater]

You mean bums, right? Transient homeless people in other words? I was a little confused at first.

Yeah I heard about this guy, he is here in the seattle area and they had him on 100.7 the buzz "radio for guys"  they had some guy from the homeless foundation or some crap trying to flip him schiet for it.  Some crap about not calling them bums because it had the same emotional weight for a bum to be called a bum as calling a black guy a n#$ger.  Also said that the bumvertising guy was exploiting the bums and furthering their woes...to which the guy replies, Im not recruiting new bums these are guys that already are holding signs, I give them a professionally made sign, a few bucks and let them go at it. If they want to toss my sign thats fine and I dont care.  Most of the bums were reported to have been really greatful for the sign and the money.   
For good radio online listen to     www.1007thebuzz.com      if you click in and it sounds like lounge music thats because they are at commercial and they dont broadcast those on the net.   It is talk radio incase I forgot to mention that.
