Cooperman H on 13 Jan 11I remember hearing abut that guy n tv! I never really knew that there where "myths" about poverty. It was really interesting to see the stereotypes that people come up with.

Borror D on 13 Jan 11That's so sweet that he's the announcer for the Cavaliers now! He was in a macaroni and cheese commercial too. It's so crazy that he went from homeless to famous in two days!

Teets S on 13 Jan 11At first I thought that this man's story was amazing, but as his real story developed, I was disgusted by this story. Turns out that he was a drug addict and that he has (still is) physically abused his daughter, lying to her, saying that he was sober when really he was slobbering drunk. Now he is going to rehab. Guys, rehab isn't free. Who's paying for that? Some person who felt generous. Well, why is it that the people who have chosen to throw their lives away get all this support? What about the people who are pure? While this man gets attention for being a drug addict, people are STILL starving on the streets. Juss' sayin.

Chesser G on 13 Jan 11shelby, the guy overcame homelessness and poverty and has pratically turned his life around. Rehab will help the guy to become a better person. I think his story is pretty remarkable

Kelly S on 13 Jan 11He a drug addict. He can't pay for it so someone elso is paying for his rehab when that money can go to the streets were familys need it most.
-
Teets S on 14 Jan 11I would disagree; other people turned his life around for him. Do you really think that if he didn't have rehab PAYED FOR HIM he would have sought help for his addiction? He wouldn't have told anybody :/ Sure, it's awesome that he was found on the street, and that HIS life is better, but there are STILL people who I believe deserve help more than him. It makes me sick that all the corrupt people are the ones who get all the attention, when the pure are left to fend for themselves.

Costello R on 14 Jan 11I like this article it is very interesting about how he was homeless one day and then in 3 days he's now rich and has a house. so i think what they are trying to say is that not all homeless people are non talented school drop outs. they are trying to say that some are very talented and might have messed up in life.
