Things People Hate never advises “to go homeless,” however it’s probably more profitable than a 9 to 5 at WalMart. Tragically, a vast bulk of the homeless signs are about as sad as the lifestyle itself. They lack any form of creativity. TPH scanned the internet hard to find ten homeless signs that beg to differ. Enjoy!

Want to double your viewship in a day?
Get an older gent in a tuxedo and parade him around with a banner that reads “Text Dolphin 441444.”
It may not sound like a formula for success, but it worked at the Oscars.
During the acceptance speech for “Best Documentary,” one of the stars of the Oscar winning doc, “The Cove,” held up a sign with the desire of landing some promotion for the TakePart dolphin-saving organization. The producers of the show cut away from the sign-bearer after two seconds of fame, yet it was enough to send a tidal wave of text messages that nearly took down the group’s mobile server.
Since the Oscar broadcast, TakePart claims they’ve doubled their membership. Now I’m not much of a “numbers guy,” but that’s cheap and highly effective advertising. The Oscar stunt follows in line with the latest trend of support your charity through texts. It seems that people would rather communicate that way now, so why not show some love for your favorite non-profit 441444 style.
After years of being troubled with criminal arrests and other lawsuits, the rapper known as DMX had finally appeared to take a step in the right direction.
Only this time, he wasn’t the one that f**ked it up.
DMX had planned to host an upcoming event at an Arizona high school titled, the “Gospel Rap Extravaganza.” However, the extravaganza was canceled without prior notice, just days before the scheduled event. The reason? The school had just realized that the arrest plagued rapper was involved.
Apparently nobody realized that the mug shot on the poster was that of DMX. Neither, one could assume, that they caught the “DMX” plastered in big bold letters. The pastor of the church the concert was supposed to benefit, Morning Star Sanctified Church, told TMZ.com, “the school pulled the plug on the event once word got out that DMX was involved.” The Pastor says the church already took out a $1 million insurance policy on the concert, but the school still wouldn’t budge and already agreed to return the church’s $500 deposit.
I don’t know what’s more bizarre about this story. The fact that DMX wants to participate in a church event, or that the school appears so reluctant and scared of X. Does the school think a fight will break out over a mix of church gang colors?
If I didn’t know any better, I would have assumed this story took place in Utah.
Note: This article was written prior to news of DMX’s arrest today. Ironically, God always gets the last laugh.
After months of research, TPH firmly believes they have found a flowchart that is 100% backed to give you the proper answer to your most critical question – Will I get laid tonight?
Sex-on-this-Date is a tried and true formula. If you do not feel that the answers are 100% true, please feel free to add to the equation.
Thanks to Holy Taco for the flowchart.
One could debate the many topics of conversation for the 82nd annual Academy Awards, however, the one that we can all agree upon comes down to a simple mathematical equation of physics.
The formula of Movies + Liberal = Hollywood did not apply here. The Oscars took a strange, dare I say, Hollywood-like twist with a rather Conservative show that featured a Sandra Bullock ‘Best Actress in a Leading Role,’ and an even stranger salute to troops overseas (thanks to Kathryn Bigelow). However, that’s not the discussion I’m leading into. The discussion I’m trying to spark has nothing to do with Conservatives and Hollywood. I just thought it was a nice hook.
One thing I do NOT get about the Oscars? People that commentate about women’s dresses. I thought John Madden was useless until I watched an Oscars Red Carpet show. Seriously, does someone need to actually get paid to say whether or not Meryl Streep’s dress “work’s or not”?
I mean, come on people. Every Hollywood actress looks good in a dress. Anyone who says someone looked awful is clearly a hater.
We need to finally reach a point in American society where we say enough is enough. If we’re paying someone to critique Hollywood dresses, then we need to have our heads examined. Does anyone really care about fashion anymore? If so, you’re probably A) unemployed, B) a teenager, or C) not worthy of our attention for all of the above.
We never want to chase down anyone’s dreams on Things People Hate, but there are some jobs (like writing for TPH) that offer absolutely no benefit. There are even worse majors. Majors are the “root of all evil,considering they are the object that will begin decades of unemployment and personal turmoil. Ladies and gentlemen, we present the 10 Worthless College Majors.
Art History
History is interesting for most…when in high school. Once you reach college, you should either take up history as a hobby (not recommended if you still want to get laid) or become ignorant to our past. Art History is especially pointless, considering the spectrum of jobs available once completing a degree are from 1 to 0. You’ll likely end up working at a coffee shop next to someone who is still in high school.
Philosophy
Philosophy was both cool and profitable a few centuries ago. Today, everyone has the world figured out so why the hell do they need you? Unless you can to write a book on human personalities when on the web, you’ll fail to break any ground that was not yet discovered. Like the Art History major, Philosophy is interesting for some, but not in anyway needed to waste 4+ years and 80k on.
American Studies
Seriously? American Studies? If you grew up in America for the past 18 years, I’m pretty sure you’re already well educated on the subject. American Studies is code for waiting tables at Applebees for the next twenty years.
