A-ha!Guardian bum angels reach out!
PimpThisBum.com is knotting the panties of bleeding hearts and social conservatives all over the country.
Kevin Dolan, the 55-year-old dude who started the site, is according to a CBS news story, "a marketing specialist," from Katy, Texas.
Dolan and his 24-year-old son say they launched it to test-run their new online marketing business. They figured they'd break in their Internet venture with a charitable project – filming a bum named Tim Edwards, who lives beneath an interstate overpass in nearby Houston.
I understand I'm in no position to call the kettle black as I've featured many a bum on Lance, but as a reporter who frequently deals with "marketing specialists," I can't help but mutter one dig under my breath:
Marketing specialists moonlighting as humanitarians usually have ulterior motives.
Good luck, Tim. I hope this sets you straight. And to the rest of my guardian bum angels – be nice to entrepreneurs. You never know when the Capitalism Fairy will tuck a twenty under your bedroll.

Oh my gosh, that link you left on my site is hilarious!!! Lol.
Also, I'm not completely sure I understand the pimp this bum thing so I think I'm going to have to check out the website. But I think I'll wait until I get home tonight because I can just imagine that website url showing up on the IT guy's register tomorrow morning.
Wait a second … I think I saw this guy on the floor at Hampton!
