By the way read the gallery/profile on bumvertising.com...the last two are especially humorous...

joke?

Kudos for someone thinking outside the box. The motives are questionable but at least those in need are benefitting in one way or another.

If it's a joke they tricked the news as well...personally i'm in the area, but haven't seen the signs, but there are so many homeless it might not have caught my attention.

Glen the angry bum, although in consideration for the position, takes no pride in sign building or maintenance, and therefore has not yet been offered a contract.

sounds fishy...

ooh.. bums.. i was thinking butts.. now that would be a great place to advertise.. but then again, all the fat chicks would claim discrimination and we'd have to look at their asses

That isn't a joke. A furnature store near my house uses 4-5 people holding up signs around town.

i think the site bumvertising might be a joke, partially at least, but the concept is not a joke...

 

[neutralizer]

Um... why would buy something from a company who's shady enough to advertise on bums.

 

[dabuddha]

Not a joke. I see this all the time around here in the DC Metro area.

 

[Brutuskend]

Not a bad idea!

That's what I was hoping for too.

Fscking Brilliant!!

if it's serious then I don't really have a problem with it. These people are stuck in an unemployable situation and this money could help get them back on their feet or at least off the street eventually.
