Okay guys this this one great example of how the internet is taking over!

Example:

Ted Williams

"Homeless guy with a Golden Voice!"



Ted Williams, the New Year's first viral video star, could go from homeless to rich as job offers pour in.

TED WILLIAMS, a homeless man and former radio announcer whose life was derailed by alcoholism and drug addiction, is being tipped to become a millionaire after his 'golden voice' was captured on film whilst he begged at the side of the road, reports the UK's Daily Mail. In a clip that has become an overnight YouTube sensation, Williams is filmed by a cameraman for the Columbus Dispatch newspaper demonstrating his unique gift.
As the cameraman approaches the junction on Houston Street, Columbus, Williams can be seen dressed in shabby clothes holding a cardboard sign that reads, 'I have a God given gift of voice. I'm an ex-radio announcer who has fallen on hard times. Please! Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you and God bless you. Happy Holidays'. Cameraman Doral Chenoweth pulls up beside Williams and asks him to "work for his buck", before the homeless man delivers an off-the-cuff radio voiceover jingle which is taking the Internet by storm. It has been reported that Williams has since been inundated with offers to work for the likes of MTV, NFL and ESPN.
In a road-side interview that accompanies the footage, Williams speaks about his 'gift', saying, "When I was 14 I listened to one of our local area radio announcers and I went on a field trip to meet the guy, and he looked nothing like what he sounded like.

Quote from Ted Willliams:
"Listen, radio is defined as theatre of mind"

That's pretty awesome. I'd like to see somebody like that get a good paying job somewhere it will be appreciated. ESPN would be cool.

Its a shame that he most likely won't be able to convert his lifestyle. Ex Drug addict, lets see where his money will go, I wish him the best of luck, but he was given a chance, and lets see if he can keep it up.

He seems a little different than the "average ex drug abuser". Many people who repeat aren't fully rehabilitated. He seems to have had the experience where has been humbled and had to work himself back up.

The efforts he has to give to work his way back up may be his reason for remaining sober.

i know you guys are trying to say! but i dont think he will ever go back to drugs cause he came from the streets and he prayed for something like this will happen and id think he want to screw it up!

Good for him...He's been clean for 2 years so there is a slim chance he will go back onto drugs unless he has a major relapse or an a event that could spiral him back into that world. He seems very determined to start anew which can be hard for people in the same situation as him.

Jesus Christ, this guy is moving faster than aids in Korea. I swear next I will see streets named after him and then he'll be having dinner with the president, if NOT the next president.
