bumvertising, Taking total advantage of the disenfranchised homeless, slammed as worst idea of the year at idea site. Good for them for pointing this out! Wish they had more ideas for how to help the homeless, but not a bad start...recognizing the problem (FYI many, many homeless are not beggers however, many have incomes, just can't afford the rent...)

7. Sometimes all I can do is shake my head in horrified wonder.

The ingenuity with which human beings degrade and exploit other human beings is mind-boggling.

8. How about Scumverstising?

Let's put signs on CEO's, rich people, Repukes, and other TRUE parasites advertising various products.

There needs to be a bigger movement to ridicule, degrade, and marginalize the segment of society who invents and enjoys things such as "bumvertisting" and "bum fights." Is anyone more richly deserving of such treatment?

I'd like to see thousands of websites spring up mocking the wealthy. That would be a good start.

9. Love the thought of websites mocking the wealthy

got my creative juices flowing...Maybe instead of signs there should be tattoos on CEO's foreheads...think about it...shame them...
