This innovative entrepreneur (read: scumbag) seems to be underestimating the ethics of the consumers that these bum-vertisments would supposedly target. If I ever saw this where I live I would immediately boycott whatever business was vile enough to do such a thing. It doesn't matter if they get paid or not, it's a matter of respect to these homeless individuals (sure I understand there is a point where you stomach growling takes precedence over your pride, but that is their choice). So what if they have $100 dollars a day, they still don't have a roof over their heads or a clean change of clothes.
Scotchdrnkr I actually work a professional job and have, lets just say, a lot of tattoos (90+ hours, if that means anything to you). I do not have to cover my tattoos for work and do not cover them for interviews, nor do I hide my stretched ears. I just bust my ass and that makes up for whatever minor prejudice I may encounter (of course it may help that I work in a creative field). I do know I would probably have a hard time getting a job in fast food, but I'm not too worried about falling to that level.
As for the article itself about stupid tattoos, I agree with some. What is so bad about getting a humorous tattoo? Is it so bad to find humor in life? And to throw such a broad blanket of "neck tattoos" I find it a bit offensive. There are the fair share of poor quality/subject matter ones out there. But overall those who get them (that I know) are knowledgeable about what they are doing and are in a position where they know they can have such a tattoo. Or maybe like myself are more concerned with being happy in and of themselves than worrying about stepping outside the statues quo.

And by the way, that looks nothing like a chalice.
