Pimp this Bum.com

I have to talk about an entrepreneurial adventure that's all over the news right now promoting the plight of the homeless. You have to give them credit for their unique website name, www.pimpthisbum.com. They are currently making a homeless man named Tim Edwards in Houston, Texas , the human face connected with the deliberately controversial name of the website. The website just hopes to bring this social problem to the forefront and address the problem. At the same time you can make donations to help Mr. Edwards. Some people claim that the website exploits Tim and other homeless, but others claim that the edgy tone is what makes the project succeed. I tend to agree with the second point!
