This “news” report from Indianapolis’s Fox 59 is less than three minutes long, but it took me almost ten minutes to watch it. That’s because it’s so horrible that I had to stop it several times and walk away from the computer. Following the overnight success of Ted Williams (the golden-voiced hobo), a reporter takes to the streets to find homeless people with talent. And surprisingly, homeless people haven’t seen the viral video. Probably because, oh, I don’t know, THEY LIVE ON THE STREET.
As if that’s not bad enough, the reporter then makes the homeless people sing. It’s so awful that it doesn’t feel real. Honestly, I’ve made a career out of joking about how much I dislike the homeless, and even *I* find this morally bankrupt. It would have been more humane to film the reporter stabbing hobos. Not to mention a huge turn-on.
