Pimp this bum

[luckystar112]

Have you all heard of this? Two guys made a website about a homeless person, www.pimpthisbum.com, which documents the life of a man named Tim in Houston. They upload videos of Tim, and you can donate money. It''s basically like you get to watch his progress from a bum to a success. It was big news here in Houston when it first launched. I checked it out and forgot about it.

My news station just did an update today. Apparently he was offered a free stint in rehab, and now he''s moving to Tennessee to stay with his family and get a job. They also gave him a makeover and he looks like 40 years younger!

Here is the newscast that I saw today (with video):

Where did the donations go? Was it all spent on Tim?

I can't seem to find it on their site anymore, but I do remember a while back it was written in huge letters that they do not keep any of it.....all the money goes toward Tim and his progress or to the homeless in general.

Well I think its a great idea. I wish Tim and his family all the best in the world!

That''s a very neat idea!, Congratulations to the people that help this guy to become a better person.
