If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
I can see there being money around here using the homeless as an advertising medium. The hot spots, I've found, for bums homeless folks appear to be at Wal-Mart (and all the intersections around Wal-Mart), 3rd Street and Revere, the Mountain View Mall Cascade Village area, the back exit of parking lot by the North Liquor store, and pretty much every other main intersection along 3rd street (I'm sure I'm missing some big ones -- feel free to fill in below in the comments). I'm sure these guys would happily hold a sign that might make them a few bucks and/or get them some food.

Simone said on 08/15/05 @ 01:14 PM: that's a f***ing great idea, Jake. Just what we need in our lives - more ads... (kidding! ok - no, I wasn't).
Jake said on 08/15/05 @ 01:18 PM: Oh come on, Simone. If we're going to be seeing the homeless guys anyway, at least they could be doing something good for themselves. You mean you wouldn't want your site being advertised by a homeless guy? Not the clientele you're after? ;-)
