Homeless Man with the golden voice.....the Anti Christ??

This my friends is Ted Williams. For those for you who don't know, Ted is a homeless man with a CRAZY voice for radio...dude sounds like the old school radio hosts...here is a vid of how he was discovered if you haven't already seen it.

Now as far as I know, this dude used to be on radio and making good money until his friend "introduced" him to crack...then it was all down hill for there. He smoked up all his money and wound up sleeping on the streets. This youtube video hit the airwaves and now he has job offers from radio stations, he did the opening voice for the Today Show & Entertainment Tonight, he is the new spokes voice for Kraft Mac n' Cheese...Shoot even the Cleavland Cav's offered him a job (I guess after the loss of LeBron the scouts went to drastic measures)


But what I would like to know is this, what happens when you take a man with admitted addiction problems, from the bottom of the bottom, shower him with fame & release him into the world?

Just ask Earl

Mr. Ted Williams (he has a name for radio too) went from the bottom of the bottom, no money, didn't know where his next meal was coming from, addicted to drugs...to fame and fortune literally over night. yeh, they scooped this dude off the street, cleaned him up, shaved him and put him right to work. This dude is on EVERY TV CHANNEL, all over the web....and I think hes gonna trade mark the camo look.

But its all a recipe for disaster ladies and gents, number 1, its teaching the kids that they don't really need to do a damn thing because fairy tales come true and ANYBODY can be famous. Williams even said "When I was homeless (3 days ago) all I wanted was someone to drive by and say "Hey,. do you want a job"?....Really?!?! 

If life worked like that we wouldn't need job applications or resumes.....we would just stand on the corner and wait for Donald Trump to discover our impeccable accounting ability.

And number 2, I don't think its a good idea to throw this dude money and fame without addressing his addiction issues and the main reason why he was in the position he was in in the first place.....oh u think he's clean, u think he's sober?? look at this...

You see why they wont do the full body shot when hes talking?? cuz he's got the jimmy legs....and we all know what that means.

Now don't get it twisted, I am happy for dude, and if he handles the fame and limelight right this may go down as the feel good story of 2011, and all I can do is tilt my hat and congratulate....

But look at it this way, if you give a well fed man a buffet hes gonna eat in moderation, do the same to a starving man and he gonna go over board and eat till he throws up.....

Thoughts??
