Again, I guess thats where you live because here, you aint getting a job doing anything if you cant look halfway presentable. Look at how judgemental you are being. You think a prospective employer, even someone who wants their lawn cut is going to be any different?
Dont get me wrong, I cant stand Boner and crap on the guy every time he does something crass, but I'm not going to crap on him for doing something laudable.

im not talking about cutting grass for company jobs and such but more like cutting grass for regular people like us. because sometimes people doesnt have the time or doesnt have the equipment or just doesnt want to do it so u can always hired someone who is willing to do the job to come do it.

the fact he uploaded it onto his youtube channel proves he ONLY did it to get attention.

not all jobs are office type work. there's plenty of labor type work where they dont judge u on how u look. for example, cleaning work, cutting grass, picking up trash, etc etc etc etc etc!

Im not even sayin office work. Even cleaning job/cutting grass you still need to look presentable. You really think they are going to go up to a persons house looking like trash and smelling, knock on their door and ask if they can cut their grass?

Picking up trash? "Waste Management" company comes and picks up your trash. Thats why we pay a trash bill. People who pick up trash on the side of the road/parks are usually doing community service work

I bet it's not even his money, GBP probably forced him to do this.
Also how is a measly $1000 going to turn his life around?
After hes buys clothes, food etc there will be little left.

Just a typical internet stunt to pluck at your heartstrings and make you feel better.
It's hollow.

we've hired random people to cut our grass before. their cutting our grass not remodeling our house. why should it matter how they look? their not coming inside LOL! and picking up trash, im not talking about the weekly city trash picker job, but throwing trash away for regular people. u know when someone is moving or is cleaning their home and have trash from yard work that needs to be taken out, etc. like i said where im at, u have these type of people who is willing to work for the things i listed above. these people will stand outside of stores like home depo and when they see u walking out they'll ask u if u need any type of work/help.

few years ago we were laying cement for our front and back yard. we went to home depo to buy all the stuff that is needed. when we walked out, these people saw what we were gonna do and offer their service for a little cash in return. we hired them to come clean our front and back yard, prep it, get rid of all the rocks and little stuff so that it will be ready for us to lay cement on. this is what im talking about. i guess its different in other area so u prolly wont see eye to eye with me here.

theres also recycle cans places that will hired these people to do the job. there used to be a recycle can spot close to my house. the owner had like 3 homeless dude working for him. loading and unloading cans from the customers. like i said if u're capable of standing outside for the whole day holding up a please help me sign, then u are capable of finding urself a job.

and the money they get from standing out there for the whole day, day in and day out, they could have use some of that to get a shaver, etc to clean themself up to look more presentable. i mean if they're really trying to get off the streets. but it seems like most of these people would rather stay on the streets and is fine holding up a sign for the whole day. and half the time after these people take a break from standing out there all day they usually go to the nearest liquor store or 7-11 and walk out with a paper bag with a drink in there. hmm i wonder what that drink could be?

Thanks for posting TS, that was a great thing Broner did.

Who cares if he did it for PR. Still nice of him and more than probably 95% of this thread has done to help a random person.
