      • bluezinc, on 07/06/2008, -0/+35I saw this sign today in San Francisco. At first I thought it was clever, now I think that homeless guy might have had internet access.

      • sarge96, on 07/06/2008, -1/+10Looks like diggnidy owes about 200$ to various people.
      • GhostyBoy, on 07/06/2008, -1/+12Up to almost 500 bucks now...maybe someone should make a submission drawing attention to this debt he has incurred.

    • killerknives, on 07/06/2008, -4/+4well you got dugg up but you owe about 300 dollars, id get on that.
    • patrflav, on 07/06/2008, -3/+11diggnidy owes money all over town, including to known pornographers.
      • criterion100, on 07/06/2008, -1/+2diggnidy needs to learn to live off of his allowance, which is ample.
      • TheBuz, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1diggnidy just needs someone to blow on his toes.
    • RcHer, on 07/06/2008, -3/+8Damn you're clever.

    • lbdinh, on 07/06/2008, -13/+3I NEITHER dugg nor buried.

      It's be funny if everybody undid their dugg too and he'll be stuck at +1 from his self-vote. That'll shut his attention whoring ass up.

  • jerkychew, on 07/05/2008, -11/+60Saw that same sign 5 years ago in Harvard Square. Plagiarist!
    • Zeag, on 07/06/2008, -1/+9Seriously, did you think homeless guys could come up with witty signs all by themselves? If even big companies do it, why not them?
    • NotOptium, on 07/06/2008, -11/+2I heard that line in an Obama speech!!
    • CAisBacK, on 07/06/2008, -3/+0C'mon We all do it... Need some info for a presentation? Copy and Paste Wikipedia....

      • AL7AIR, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1That's only a problem for the first guy who shows up ... and even than I think he will pay the sign holder, and not the other way around ...
      • bman85, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I bet he has a dollar...
    • cheaptricks, on 07/06/2008, -1/+16WRONG! *gives you £1* haha, I win
  • suntzusputnik, on 07/05/2008, -15/+5damn, i owe him 1 dollar

  • adrianmchs, on 07/05/2008, -1/+144Double or Nothing!
  • xpftw, on 07/05/2008, -3/+13i want my dollar.
  • virtualonliner, on 07/05/2008, -5/+37I won. Now where is my dollar.
    • CAisBacK, on 07/06/2008, -3/+6How can you know that you won without reading the sign? you wouldn't even know you were supposed to read it.....
      Now pay a dollar to me and one to that guy....
      • DaHuuuuuudge, on 07/06/2008, -0/+12He won the bet in the Digg title by never looking at the sign.
      • AboveandBeyond, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1maybe he was just asking for a dollar randomly..
      • mojoface, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1You can win by reading the sign which is offering a bet, accepting said bet, and not reading the sign ever again.
  • melvin_u, on 07/05/2008, -21/+244"I wonder how much I'll make in AdSense from it!" What a douche..
    • EwMo, on 07/06/2008, -2/+42Last laugh's on him because Digg didn't like to his blog, so he won't get nearly what he would have.
    • MavRevMatt, on 07/06/2008, -1/+18Well his AdSense isn't on Flickr so just no one visit his blog and he loses.
    • kibiz0r, on 07/06/2008, -11/+42Was I the only one that got the joke? He gets money from people reading the ads in much the same way this guy is making money from people reading the sign.

      Are Diggers really that jaded that they miss a stupid joke because somewhere, someone might be making a few pennies off the internet?
      • melvin_u, on 07/06/2008, -18/+5I think I ***** hate you. Of course I got the joke. Now, you are the douche.
    • tedhead2k, on 07/06/2008, -4/+5Calm down, he's kidding, geeze.
    • Vhaeos, on 07/06/2008, -5/+6Nothing is wrong with reasonable ads, or making money.

      If his motivation for taking this picture was putting it up on his blog to make money via adsense, then great. We get content at no expense, he makes money. Win-win. Although as stated above if he really even wanted money he would've linked to his own blog. (Yes, the guy that took the picture and the guy that posted it on digg are the same. At least they've got the same username.)
      • rhenretta, on 07/06/2008, -6/+1There is a problem when you are exploiting homeless people for profit, and then laugh about it. If he was a decent human being he'd give any money off adsense to the homeless guy
    • blup3ace, on 07/06/2008, -1/+2/sarcasm?
    • xkorbin, on 07/06/2008, -1/+8It's not like any digger can actually see adsense anyway.
    • Paulish, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2Why? It is win/win. Nobody lost anything...
    • melvin_u, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2You people are funny. I think I like this Digg thing.
    • kilometer, on 07/06/2008, -2/+1Here's the contents of his site just so no one else contributes to his AdSense:

      So, over the weekend I was hanging out on 6th St. in Austin, TX.
      Homeless Hippy on 6th St. in Austin, TX
      Check out these Homeless Hippies on My flickr.

      As we were walking from bar to bar, we saw these two homeless guys sitting on the corner. They literally just finished writing this sign and were laughing about it amongst themselves.

      Once I read what the sign says, I knew I had to take a picture. I told the guy I would give him a dollar if he let me take a picture of him and put it on the internet so I could take him “Viral!” He gotta pretty excited! His friend got a little pissed!

      I mean no disrespect to these two random homeless guys, but just from the looks of your sign…. I can see why you’re on the corner.

      Long story short, I totally lost that bet. I read the sign. We all had a good laugh. My friend & I each gave them a buck…. and I wouldn’t doubt it if they spent my money on some sort of ‘illegal substance’ by the end of the night! But it’s all good…. I’ll make more than that on the AdSense below.
  • Beanstudd2, on 07/05/2008, -7/+37I lost the game!

    • metalgel, on 07/06/2008, -6/+5if you are reading this, you are now playing the game. you have 20 minutes to forget you are playing the game. if at anytime you remember you are playing the game, you must declare "I lost the game!". You then have 20 minutes to forget you are playing the game.

    • Greenkayak, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Best comment on this Digg yet! Bingo!

  • ufia, on 07/06/2008, -6/+92Is this the guy who wrote the Microsoft EULA?
  • gfxlonghorn, on 07/06/2008, -12/+20Oh these guys are assholes. They tried to steal our pizza one night, and they kept ***** with the chicks we were with. Though it was a laugh for us at first, they were really messing with the older people, which I thought was kinda douchy. I couldn't tell if they were hobos or not since they could have been "Austin Hippies" and since they were hanging with like 6 people that all looked the same.
    • Halsfield, on 07/06/2008, -0/+8these exact people?
      • gfxlonghorn, on 07/06/2008, -0/+10Yeah I recognize the guy on the right.. they were hanging out on Guadalupe when I saw them, but def the same people.
  • Walled, on 07/06/2008, -14/+1I bet you $1 your using FF3.
  • kookbutt, on 07/06/2008, -3/+27He looks kind of chunky to be a homeless person.
    • Ricky81682, on 07/06/2008, -1/+14Our poor are quite fat. It's expensive to eat healthy. Lard is cheap though.
  • tucsonsun13, on 07/06/2008, -2/+35Well, technically.....

    I didn't take/accept the wager.

    Off to work....................................enjoy your panhandling!
  • havokdu, on 07/06/2008, -7/+16He should be using his creativity for something more fruitful, like getting a ***** job...
    • NuclearIsShit, on 07/06/2008, -0/+0man a lot of people who are homeless or whatever are socially maladjusted. You want to work with a dude that is going to steal your lunch out of the fridge, slip cocaine into the office coffee supply, rape women going on their breaks or on the way to the copy room, bringing dogs with fleas and bandannas around their necks to work or beating up the boss whenever he or she asks him to get some work done?

      Don't forget ***** in the middle of the isle, passing out while high on glue or mouthwash when the copier desperately needs a toner refill or a paper jam fixed or the sitting by the coffee room begging for money.

      I wouldn't having the guy at my work if I could carry around pepper spray and have a lock on my lunch box or office door.
  • choopie911, on 07/06/2008, -0/+23I saw a chick in Seattle holding the same sign. Then I started wondering, what if you told someone what the sign says, then have them tell the homeless person that they didn't read the sign, and someone told them, so therefor the homeless person lost the bet and owes them a dollar.
    • Paulish, on 07/06/2008, -1/+9Taking money from homeless people... Is the economy that bad?
    • ShadowFox06, on 07/06/2008, -0/+5Bet $10 she wasn't hot or she'd have a place at my apartment.
      • choopie911, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1If she was hot she'd turn that offer down.
  • bassman12593, on 07/06/2008, -2/+17First advancement in panhandling since they started saying "god bless you".
    • ohnoihavenoname, on 07/06/2008, -1/+6They get angry when you calmly explain that you didn't sneeze.

  • mm911, on 07/06/2008, -10/+87"I wonder how much I'll make in AdSense from it!" Probably about $0.00, since you dugg the flickr address and not your blog, douche.
    • Derelict267, on 07/06/2008, -2/+4Also, some ass from digg will probably report him for adsense fraud or whatever. They're really strict about talking about your adsense, can't ask anyone to click or even hint at it.
      • xeno439, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1Why is it an ass that will do it? If you were an Adwords user, would you want people to click on the ads because some douche prompted you to?
    • spider418, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1He didn't link to adsense blog because he didn't want to be called a douche!
  • gavin422, on 07/06/2008, -2/+16I'll bet you $1 that there will be way, way too many "I'll bet you $1..." comments below mine.
  • JivePode, on 07/06/2008, -0/+20Damn, he won the bet. I might have to Paypal him the money. Homeless people have computers, right?
  • faizal5k, on 07/06/2008, -2/+2dude's a hustler

    • iChaz, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1lawl ur funni
      NOT.
      dude the humor of the whole not thing died in the 90's
    • neuens07, on 07/06/2008, -0/+5This suit is black not
  • BaronSamedi242, on 07/06/2008, -12/+1Ya gotta love that they don't just want change anymore, it's $1. I actually had some foul smelling workshy panhandler demand $5 for a coffee.

    GO GO GENERATION Y, wanting all their drug money at once.

    I once saw a guy panhandling with a sign saying "Too moral to steal for money, would rather beg." He was doing rather well with this til I surreptitiously slapped a sign over his head that said "But I sure as hell don't wanna work for it, suckers."
    • Derelict267, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2It's worse when they're not stationary. I had one guy walk up to me and ask for change and for a second I thought I was being mugged as I nervously took my wallet out.
    • somnambualist, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2Drag worms started with the me generation. About 40 years ago. These guys are just keeping prior generations' traditions alive. But sure, I'm sure it's just the kids' fault.
    • CrackyJSquirrel, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6Making up stories doesn't make you cool..
  • Kragnerac, on 07/06/2008, -2/+28I'll bet you $2,000 I won't pay you a penny.
  • nraphael, on 07/06/2008, -3/+4What did it say?
  • somnambualist, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2Drag worms aren't homeless. They're just drag worms.
  • advancedOption, on 07/06/2008, -1/+14So someone did something creative and made a dollar.

    Someone else blogs about it, adding pointless commentary, and makes more through adsense.

    Mad world.



  • swraman, on 07/06/2008, -4/+2ive seen better in berkeley
  • Namaha, on 07/06/2008, -1/+3I bet you $1 that the homeless dude put the dollar sign on the wrong side of the 1.
  • RizzoFrank, on 07/06/2008, -0/+8No money from adsense. This is digg we use ABP.
  • Frozenfuryblade, on 07/06/2008, -1/+2Ironyy
  • allenu, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1No deal, homeless dude.
  • richw, on 07/06/2008, -1/+5I'll bet you $1 that flickr makes more money of ads then the blogger will since he linked us to flickr instead of his blog
  • jgambleii, on 07/06/2008, -1/+17It's a sad day when being a beggar is actually a viable career option.
  • exhilator, on 07/06/2008, -15/+4HOLY MOTHER ***** *****. YOU HAVE ARMS AND LEGS. GO ***** WORK AT MCDONALDS AND STOP BEGGING FOR MONEY. GOD DAMN ***** LAZY AMERICANS!
    • blanketfury, on 07/06/2008, -2/+9I blame Canada
    • Rikkochet, on 07/06/2008, -1/+12Without knowing anything about his history, physical condition, or mental state, the correct thing to say was: "".
      That's right. Nothing. I work in an area full of drug addicts who often beg for money. They aren't employable and they've lost the ability to understand why that's a bad thing.
      They don't need privileged white kids who have never had to try yelling at them to get a job, they need rehab and a care home.
      • tas08, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2"I'm not worried because a rapist wouldn't have a bed like that."

        What I should have said was.... nothing. What I did say was,

        "You'd be surprised."
      • zhaojon, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1Dugg because Mike B rocks.
    • siobhankeogh, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6Oh shut up, you don't know anything about the beggar's circumstances. Maybe he is just a stupid crackhead... or maybe he has legitimate reasons for being homeless. Some people do.

      P.S. Even fast food jobs don't usually hire people who don't have an address and have worn the same clothes for 3 months.
  • nemojonze, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1wanna buy a puppy?
  • lolobabyy, on 07/06/2008, -3/+5if you really want to help a bum you give them food...all money goes to drugs
    • Stroggoth, on 07/06/2008, -1/+2Offering food is a great way to learn that they don't need your help; most of them will either reject it, or a few take and it and ask for more money. Letsee... you are so starving that you need cash, but you won't take free food? You can't be that hungry.
      • crapmatic, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3I wonder if perhaps people have ***** with their food.
    • CrackyJSquirrel, on 07/06/2008, -1/+4To be fair, some use it for alcohol..
    • blackjack75, on 07/06/2008, -2/+1They are like you and me. If they have enough they'll get alcohol for sure. But if they are hungry you bet they'll get food first.
  • blckt, on 07/06/2008, -2/+1I did this once, it actually worked with a few people thank god
  • blanketfury, on 07/06/2008, -2/+4I bet you $1 he'll still be homeless after all this is over
  • luket13, on 07/06/2008, -2/+14I lived in Austin as a student at UT. The homeless on 6th/UT are not real homeless, they are lazy hippies (for lack of a better term). They walk around in groups with 10 dogs camping out on the drag bugging all the freshman and being smart asses. They are far from what i would actually call real homeless.
    • dellegazze, on 07/06/2008, -1/+3They have no homes, correct?

      And if you can live without doing any work, and you do it, does that make you lazy or normal?
    • swingerbone, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2I also lived in Austin and went to UT and saw a Drag Rat with a similar sign in the pic... i stopped reading before the end.... i swear! ... and a lot of them did have dogs.
  • harlowsmonkeys, on 07/06/2008, -7/+70Best beggar sign I've seen: "Ninjas killed my father. Need money for karate lessons for revenge".
  • vinceislegend, on 07/06/2008, -2/+15I guess I owe him a dollar now. Anyone know his mailing address?
    • Jeffrr, on 07/06/2008, -4/+2Doesn't homeless give you a good hint?
    • blackjack75, on 07/06/2008, -0/+8He lives in /dev/null.
    • jackieshmackie, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1i see these guys all the time in atx. i'll give it to him for you!
    • Lane, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2well he is on 6th street in Austin so id highly recommend you go and see him for youself and stop by some of the bars on your way too. Just keep an eye out for the bats...
