Nice one!
It’s sad to see these former Microsoft software engineers laid so low.
Actually, for the ones that are real, it’s rather sad. I see nothing funny in the reality of the homeless. Each one of us are only a foot step away from it. Rather then poke fun why not do something to help the needy.
Oh God Rod…talk about being depressing…
And also, technically…I’m not a foot step away from being homeless…I took loads of footsteps today going to and from my job…and still managed to take that foot step back into my lovely warm house.
I used to go to college with one of them.
My brother chose to be homeless and I’m ok with the fact that he panhandles. I think a lot of those guys are very funny and creative, just in a bad spot.
This is really sad but I admit I chuckled. Some homeless guy yesterday flat out asked my friends for money so he could buy malt liquor. I was pissed because my friends gave him some.
Heck, if you can’t beat them, join them.
OMFG rod, no one is making fun at anyone… notice the people in the pictures are smiling and making funny signs FOR AMUSEMENT? and maybe a buck or two
Is the “blind” man Ray Bong from NOLA?
Did you want the homeless person to lie to your friends and say he was gonna buy food with the money? Would that have made you feel you better?
Well, wouldn’t you want to get loaded too if you were homeless? I know I’d drink to forget about the fact that I didn’t have anywhere to sleep.
im so upset i didnt get a picture of this homeless guy i seen in downtown vancouver. his sign read:
“Too dumb to steal. Too ugly to prostitute. Please help” he was awesome.
You know? All of this talk about the poor homeless people, and if any of you have been to Alaska you would see all of them that are EVERYWHERE. We have shelters upon shelters and TONS of programs for anyone that would have even a spark of any kind of WANT to work. All they would need to do is seek it. I don’t think that it is anyones responsibility to “take care” of the homeless just because they lack the initiative to be participating citizens in this country.
For example – the picture of “homeless bill needs rich woman” : I drive past that man EVERYDAY. He holds the same sign in a different part of town and how is anyone supposed to get a job if all they do is beg all day? I have personally seen groups of homeless people sitting around swapping turns at the same corner passing around a bottle… and what do you think they do with the rest of the day? They go to their warm free shelter, eat some free food sleep in a safe place for free… then do the same thing the next day.
I wish that I could live a lifestyle that I didn’t have to work for what I have… I think that Americans have it so easy sometimes people truly forget that our country is molded around all of the people that used to farm daily for their own money to support their families. People used to work hard for little pay… but enough to get by. I wish that someone could humble Americans to the actual lives that we are all privileged to live.
So there you go… I am going to pack up my little soapbox and stumble upon something else that I can rant on.
Here’s to you homeless bill…
i think it’s funny as heck do to the fact that there to lazy to get a job and better them selves. McDonalds is always hiring. better life starts with a job
’shopped. Anyone can see these are all the extras from Cagney & Lacey, getting together for a big reunion. Sheesh.
Well, there are more efficient ways of making money than begging for a homeless person, but SOME of them are just too lazy… (I understand that being homeless is somewhat out of their control, but they could at least try to get a job)
P.S.
@ Rod: Who’s poking fun? They made those signs themselves didn’t they?
These people aren’t really homeless. A real homeless person is too hungry to be funny.
If a homeless person has a funny sign,
he hasnt been homeless for that long.

and I doubt anyone chooses to be homeless but thats just me.
my wife once saw an elderly man at corner with a ” will work for food ” sign.. she felt sorry for him and went to a nearby mcdonalds and ordered him a big mac meal,,, she drove past again and tried to hand him the bag of a freshly bought meal.. he refused to take it he only accepts CASH ….. so much for good intentions…. if its any consolation our dog duke truly enjoyed the big mac
I am loving the old guy who said “why lie? i need a cold beer”
you are my favourite. HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY DUDE
Ok in my opinion homeless people choose to be homeless. They could have had nice jobs but they decided to heck with it, and they became alcoholics, druggies, and other things that mattered more to them then a roof over their head. Anyone can work at mcdonalds full time and at least rent a very small apartment (well at least where I live they can, and there are plenty of homeless here). I think they should get off their butts and work for their money like the rest of us. They dont deserve my penny when they put themselves in that situation in the first place. I dont feel sorry for them at all. Pity on them.
amen Rod
did you know homeless on medicaid get free counseling?!?!?!? Paid for by our Gov’t, GodBlessAmerica and our taxes. thier meds and meals are free by the govt and our tax dollars are going tward getting prozac to these Skells (police lingo for homeless) It did make me laugh but im not impressd.
C’mon now… Homeless people CHOOSE to be homeless?.. I’ll admit that in some cases this may be true, but once there and they realise how crappy a position they’re in, and how hard it is to make even a few bucks sitting in the street it becomes harder and harder to get a job. If you were the boss at a McD’s and you saw a dirty smelly bum in the street with a funny sign, you’re telling me you’d hire him?… I doubt anyone’s sincere ‘yes’ answer on this one, because they’re as disgusted by the idea as most of the posters on this one. I for one pass a buck to the honest ones who admit it’s for liquor, and hope they can come away from the streets with as much pride as the ones in the pics are demonstrating right here.
Thats was really funny. Even the fake ones. My buddy hey can stop laughing here. When you live in the city you’ll see crazy thing like ” Homeless Jedi” lol
Once, while in Vancouver, my friends and I had a homeless guy ask “Money for marijuana research?”
We all got a good chuckle….
but kept walking
Man, that last one scares me.
While there are many homeless persons that have fallen on hard times and really do have a desire to get back on their own two feet, a large number have mental disabilities that makes it very difficult to maintain a stable job. I’ve done many hours volunteering in soup kitchens and so many of the people that I’ve served really want to work – it’s just the matter of finding a job, especially in this miserable recession.
Just don’t judge so quickly. You can never know what another’s situation is.
I would’ve given the wizard some money. At least he’s honest. Hell, I probably would have taken him to a pub & hung out for a little while. Some homeless are really interesting people who are just a little down on thier luck and probably have a few stories to tell.
I was homeless for five years back in the eighties. It was hard getting money sometimes, but I didn’t need a whole lot to get by. after I got a job and was able to afford a place, I was working all the time and coming home to sleep and then doing it all over again and again and again… I realized after I had gotten back into society, how much freedom I gave up and was much happier being homeless. Just because someone is not like you don’t think they are what they choose to be. I would rather be happy and homeless than rich and miserable anyday. Judge Not!
Some people just can get handle the life cycle of pay bills, go to work and do the same every day, the people in Alaska get very depress because they don’t get enough sun and this causes depression, or something like that. the guy from the future is funny.
Hey MIKE FARREL, are you currently homeless? It says in your comment that you would rather be happy and homeless than rich and miserable anyday. Your contradicting everything you wrote by adding that at the end if in fact you are still not homeless. So therefor they are lazy people like yourself because you cant even become homeless again your so lazy.
