Feel Good Story

I read a article on Digg(?) a few days ago about a homeless man, Ted Williams, who has that deep bass, friendly, honest sounding voice you hear on radio or t.v. commercials. It was interesting, so I posted it on my Facebook  He sort of looks like a jovial zombie werewolf type with a voice that doesn't match his appearance.  I did a search of him the next day and it turns out that the video shot by a photograher with the Columbia Dispatch went viral and he's in negotiations with the Cleveland Cavs and has a home given to him by Quicken Loans.  Let's hope he stays with God and doesn't go back to the pipe.  Good luck Ted.

This first video below is how a homeless guy became famous on the internet.

The second video is an update on what happened to him.

UPDATE: Unfortunately my concerns were realized.  It turns out Williams was just conning everyone about God helping him get off drugs for the last 2 years.  He was still drinking everyday and just recently checked-in to a rehab center :-(
