From the page: "Bumvertising(tm), or the use of sign holding vagrants to advertise, is a development of PokerFaceBook.com's most recent advertising campaign. Homeless men are able to provide a valuable and tangible service to a company, while receiving an additional revenue stream in combination with their normal donations from begging. "

Are they serious? Dunno, but it was mildly amusing.

Stupid prick probably got a million dollar bonus for the idea.

Using beggars' cardboard signs for advertisement! An outstanding, win-win idea.

Okay, this may sound bad, but this is a stroke of genius. You kill two birds with one stone -grow your business -employ the less fortunate BRILLIANT!!

Pure exploitation...

Very funny but neat idea. Most bums don't like responsibility that's why they have nothing. Give them a simple verbal contract and a reason to uphold that contract and they will take on some responsiblilty. I am not saying I support PokerFaceBook.com. Wouldn't it be kinda neat if businesses sponsored bums. Utilizing these people would make them more than the bottom feeders of the social spectrum. With some, abit limited duty, they are actually pitching in to help others just as the rest of us do.

Jon Stewart interviewed this guy? Bleh, the Daily Show is so lame. Television sucks.

What a jerk. Article worth reading but thumbs down for this guy--Ben Rogovy in Seattle, who--(according to his interview on Jon Stewart) is paying homeless people $3 per "shift", to hold up signs promoting his business. After getting out of his Mercedes he's shown in interview commenting that "some of these people do choose this [lifestyle]". Oh, by the way...he's promoting a gambling business. Did I mention that I think he's a jerk?

and yet another idea that was stolen from me, this would be the perfect way to advertise for my bikini haircuts idea (which was stolen from me also)But of course i would have paid them alot better.
