Understandable, and I'm not trying to condemn you for putting up something you found, Dodds. I was more commenting on the tone of the article itself than you simply putting it up. That said, he's not being hired because people want to GIVE him a second chance, despite the fact that he's getting it, let's be pragmatic. He's getting hired because he got lucky, his story was put out on a very slow news day, and people lined up to reap the benefits of his viral popularity spike. I hope he can stay on the path and keep his nose clean (literally) as well.

Did I say anything about trying to kick him back down? I just happened to find that article.

I wasn't talking about you, sorry if I implied that. I was talking about the Author of the Article.

A CNN News report talks about how the guy that video taped him is a truly righteous person who helps the needy and blah blah blah. He sat on the story for 5 weeks until there was a slow news day. Asshole.

So someone made this tape and sat on it for 5 weeks until their was a slow news day? That's not being an asshole, that's being smart. If this was released on election day or something, the story never would've blown up the way it did. I think you're completely misreading the situation.

Yeah, if it wasn't a slow news days, Ted might not have gotten his big break.

And no problem Atma, it wasn't directed toward anyone in general.

If you read the article which I'm assuming you didn't, it was talking about how righteous he was and how he was a man of god and all that jazz. He was using the video for personal reasons not because he wanted to get this mans story out there he even said in the article that he had almost forgotten about it until a slow news day. Also it didn't become such a big deal until he posted it on Youtube. I seriously doubt that a slow news day made this video popular on Youtube. So like I said...asshole.
