that title came from where i found out about this : http://pitchfork.com/news/45722-homeless-people-turned-into-...
but yeah, this is basically what you would call a 'bad marketing idea'. someone came up with the phrase homeless hotspots and thought it was just too catchy to let go. that said, reading the bios on their website feels like they're at least taking concern for these people. if it puts money in their pocket, i'm all for it. not like this is bum fights or anything. but seriously, not an appropriate time for clever alliteration.

"Bum Fights"? Does this exist? If it does, I'm pretty sure it's one of the signs of the apocalypse. As for homeless hotspots, not the best idea. Surely something else can be done that is less degrading. Perhaps they could preach loudly about god on a corner, wash our windshields with a dirty cloth and some spit or play a horribly out of tune guitar with only 4 strings?! .....Suddently, the idea seems alright.
