This is a new strategy to me...check out this pic. Some local pizza parlor is paying homeless folk to hold signs instead of asking for money. So I would ask you, is this helping the homeless, by giving them a source of income, or is it exploiting there situation?

In what advertising industry watchers said is a first, a Portland pizza company, Pizza Schmizza, has hired homeless people off downtown sidewalks to take part in a guerrilla marketing campaign. They are paid in pizza, soda and a few dollars. 'I think it's a fair trade,' said Schoeff, 20. (AP Photo)
