Must not be too bad if they can afford $700 for Photoshop...

I know it's cynical, but I can't help but remember a quote from Chris Rock: "If a homeless person has a funny sign, he hasn't been homeless that long. A real homeless person is too hungry to be funny."

Good points Kamilah and Victor. Although, technically you don't need Photoshop to be able to 'shop photos :P Gimp, ImageMagick, Paint, etc, etc

It may not be Photoshopped. I saw a guy on the streets of San Diego with a sign exactly like this. He didn't look like he'd been homeless for very long, though.

There was a old guy who panhandled in downtown Montreal years and years ago, who told the most incredible "hard luck" stories - a different story every day about why he needed your spare change. It was like a busker playing tunes in the subway; people would stop and give him money just to hear whatever story he'd come up with next. I often wonder what happened to him.

Hm, Victor. A "homeless" meme, perhaps? (I put it in quotes because I think many of those folks with signs are fakes. Not all, but many.)
