Hot Slut Of The Day!


Ted Williams, a homeless man in Columbus, OH whose vocal cords were crafted the same artisan hands that created Casey Kasem's magical voice box. The Columbus Dispatch heard about the man with a velvety voice who could read off lyrics to a Ke$ha song and make it feel like a chenille throw is hugging your ear drums, so they caught up with him to get his story. The first few seconds after listening to Ted's masterpiece of a voice, I seriously thought they dubbed his shit. It's that perfect. It makes me want to do my make-up in the rear-view mirror of a car while inhaling lukewarm coffee fumes from a stainless steel carafe in my cup holder.

Dude should be introducing Nickelback's new song (I take that back, that was a hurtful thing to say) or describing a prize package in detail on Price is Right. And there's a chance this might come true. Dave & Jimmy of The Morning Zoo interviewed Ted this morning and are hoping to get him a job on their station. Reddit is also working on getting donations to Ted.

Oh, and we also can't deny Ted's luscious Andrew Jackson mane.

He looks like Sammy Davis Jr. Is he Sammy Davis Jr.s's illegitamite child?

Wow...this story is incredible.

Whoever said "all he had to do was stand on a street corner" needs to watch the video on any post, news channel, whatever. that's not "ALL" he had to do....the phrase "means to an end" comes mind.

I like Wood Dragon's idea. He could be the next Don LaFontaine.

There are plenty of homeless people out there who are victims of mental illness and other circumstances out of their control, and those people deserve our sympathy and charity. There are also plenty of homeless people who have made a lifetime of bad choices and have no desire to clean themselves up and be productive members of society. There are also homeless people out there who are not homeless at all, but they still beg for money. Some of them make more in a day than I did waiting tables in college during the the lunch shift. This is why panhandling is illegal."

Not disagreeing with you in anyway, but there are homeless men and women who CHOOSE to be homeless because they don't want to deal with what life has to offer them. A co-worker of mine met a homeless man who was an Iraq-vet who quit the military because he couldn't handle it. Instead of going home to his parents who were well off, he decided to roam the streets because he didn't think he could handle anything "real life" after his stint overseas (he had seen his share of dead bodies, etc.) I feel for him because he is smart, went to school, has a lot of skills that could be put to use, but doesn't want to do anything because of his past.

Mr. Williams WANTS to work and is very upfront with his past history, that has to earn him some points in anyone's book. Good for this man. Glad he was able to get help and the courage to get cleaned. He's now living the American dream, something a lot of people strive for.

Anywho, enough of my rambling, love ya!

I love Ted! I see him all the time. He isn't homeless but needs a job and willing to work.

Starqz's picture

Well DAMN, give this guy a job, ASAP! I just hope if he gets a lucky break that he doesn't fuck it up and end up back on the streets begging for quarters.. Good luck to him..;)

He would be killer as the new voice over movie trailer guy. Since Don La Fontaine died we haven't had a good one.

LEAVE STONEY ALONE! Even if she hates me I like her. I get where she's coming from. She's speaking of the bandwagon effect that the Amerrikun media perpetrates. No one gave a shit about this dude until some local yokel news reporter happened upon him. Now he is the Cause Celeb and people that would have stepped over him in the gutter now want to have him home for dinner and offer up their virgin 12 year old daughter.

angel_i's picture

Aw! He's just getting what anyone else gets. A little luck. That's nice.

Plus - he got himself clean...which is more than we can say for the likes of LiLo, Amy or Britney who, btw, are STILL making more money than all of us put together.

Stoney, why don't you just quit bitchin', piss on a cardboard scrap, take a big huff off of one of those crazy permanent markers, and make yourself a sign reading "Hot Slut Needs Cash". Dirty yourself up and you can get in the game. Then you won't be so envious of the glamorous, money-rich lifestyle of the American Hobo.

------------------------------------------

Well said Catter!

I wish this man luck!

He looks clean and is well spoken. He obviously has made great efforts to get back on track. Whatever residual issues he may still carry from his past, he can take care of once he has a steady job.

Good Luck to him!

PS: I've been volunteering at the local Food Bank for several years now and let me tell you; I can tell the difference between, grabby professional Welfare recipients and this man who is trying to get his act together and seeking to work.

You know the types that come in claiming food for five dependant kids (which may or may not be true, we never see them with more than one kid, but have to give the benefit of the doubt), yet stand outside chain smoking (not even bothering to wait in line indoors, we have to track them down in the parking lot when their food is packed up and ready) while they are talking on their cell phones (half of our volunteers don't even own a cell phone)...FACT!

Those are the types that make me lose faith in the welfare and charity system... not this man, I hope gets hired long term.

I can't wait to see Meredith Viera give him a lap dance tomorrow.

This guy will be working in Hollywood within the week, meanwhile thousands of drug-free underemployed voice talents with equal skill sit in their tiny apartments eating Ramen Noodles.

**************************

So this guy doesn't deserve a lucky break because someone else's hasn't arrived yet?

Evil_Cupcake's picture

I don't see a problem if someone gives this guy a break. That may mean one less homeless person on the street, and that is a good thing.

Just because someone did drugs in their past and made some poor choices, doesn't mean he or she is any less deserving of our sympathies or our charity.Drug abuse is an illness, it is one you choose, but nonetheless, it is an illness.

As someone else on here brilliantly said, we are all a few bad decisions away from being homeless ourselves.

Stoney's picture

I don't think I'm judging anyone. I think it's great this guy might be getting a job. It does look like he has a lot of talent, and he "seems" like a nice guy. I was just pointing out all the millions of other people who are out of work who have worked really hard to get the job this guy might be getting, and all he had to do was stand on a street corner. Flame me if you want, I really don't care. No one knows this guy at all, but immediately everyone has to jump on the Susan Boyle-like bandwagon and get all indignant at those who are skeptical.

I hope he gets a job! His announcer voice is really amazing.

MagnificentChichis's picture

Andrew Jackson hair. Wow. Andrew Jackson hair. I wish this guy well. He really does have that perfect announcer voice.

It amazes me that people judge those who have stumbled in life, even if their own bad choices about drugs or drink were to blame. Is it so unusual to binge drink? And what fine line separates those who can do it and put the bottle down the next day from those who get hooked?

Meanwhile, many "successful" people actually perpetrate terrible violence upon others, exploit and enslave, pollute and destroy our world, and maybe the moral outrage could be preserved for them instead of a homeless guy who is trying to fix his life.

Just like if you shake everyone's family tree hard enough a Jerry Springer episode will fall out, we're all 4 or 5 bad decisions away from being in this guy's position. I hope he makes the most of this opportunity and manages to stay clean.

Thamar's picture

This guy has suffered. He knows he has absolutely has to stay clean. Looking for a job in commercial media is risky. Jealousy, backstabbing and those who will want to use him.

Every time I see a homeless person I always get this feeling like "There but for the grace of God go I.."

How are homeless people any different than anyone else? We all are born into circumstances, we all live and grow and make choices...(if we're lucky to be given enough time to do those things.)

How many millionaires in Hollywood also make bad choices and are drug and alcohol addicted? I fail to see the difference. It's just luck, basically.

Somebody get this man a job! He could be the feel-good story of 2011 if he gets Seacrest fired and takes over as the new mega mogul!
