Pimp This Bum - Homeless Man Takes Up Internet Panhandling

A man and his father approached a group of bums in Houston with the the intention to pick one, and make a website dedicated to essentially "Pimping" him out. The website, http://www.ascendgence.com/pimpthisbum/index.aspx features a bum, a quick Q&A with him, and a list of things that you can choose to buy for him, from a doughnut ($.50) to 2 semesters at U of H for $10,000.

I hope he is able to get off the streets through this.

This is such a beautiful site. I might buy him a cup of coffee.

This is nice but what does a homeless man need a blackberry for?
Getting him an apartment and paying his rent would be better.

Anyone else having flashbacks of Richard Pryor's movie The Toy?
