Bumvertising

This is classic. Some guy started an online poker website called pokerfacebook.com. With no money for advertising, he paid bums to tape a sign for pokerfacebook.com to the bottom of their own sign, and "bumvertising" was born. This is possibly the most inspired and craven exploitation the homeless since Bum Fights.

I think any way of hiring a homeless person should be a good thing. I am sure they do not get paid that well for having a sign at the bottom, it's not like they get paid by the hour or a salary to support a family (a homeless person would have to literally have 20 or more signs just to rent a roach infested hotel room for a night)...
