Well apparently internet begging has become an increasingly popular lifestyle. PAN HANDLING ONLINE! I would like to get your take on this situation.

For some examples you could visit the following sites:

- www.cyberbeg.com

-http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseac...
ndividual&videoid=19178343

The site listed above is a very interesting man begging viewers to send him all kinds of things. Check it out. Its way to much to explain. And if you do check it out answer me this: If the man has enough banking skills to start a bank in the back of his van by taking your 1 million dollars then Why doesn't he just get a job at a bank?

- look up "help pay rent" on www.youtube.com (one of the first videos you will see is a woman who's screen name is missbear12,and she is begging veiwers to send her $1. she even gives out her real address)

So what do you think about this? I would usually say that America's economy is in serious trouble right now, but I am finding it very interesting that even our beggers and homeless people have high speed internet. And not to mention a camera.


Would you donate to an internet begger?
Would you ever beg online?
What do you think about the beggers videos you have seen so far?
What's next? Billboards? TV commercials?
