Re: Homeless Signs

I like the idea of creating signs from the homeless that make a homeless person less easy to ignore, but am concerned that it will cause someone to think that they don't need help if they have such a "fancy" sign.

Has anyone seen the Sears commercial with the coupon cutting squirrels? Commercials barely need to speak to their product anymore as long as they contain humor or some other attention-getting gimick.



Here are a few other clever signs that would catch my attention:
