Beer for the Homeless

From crematorium scandals to pimp suits and Ben Curtis in between, the Chattanooga area has it all. Enter our latest wonder: Beer for the Homeless.com. Created by a local Talk Radio DJ or two, the site is a serious attempt (ok, it's kinda tongue-in-cheek) to stop homeless citizens from hassling people for beer money. Well, they made their first delivery last week and have some photos and quote from their "clients".
A buddy from school took a job in Amsterdam and was roommates with the creator of this site. I know that their site was parody/satire. Don't know about Beer for the Homeless though.

I need to send these folks some money. This sounds like a refreshing change from some of the overly pious attempts at public service I've seen.
Also, I wish the photo gallery was thumbnails with links to full size photos; I'd like to get a better look at the young thing in the halter top and cutoffs.

A few years ago I was going to start a nonprofit in Sacramento called "Wine for the Homeless" but I was talked out of it. Something about mental illness and alcoholism.
