[DoinThupidThings]

Yeah the people who posted this video gave them a loonie to appear on camera while they stuffed 4 meals a day down their throats LOL. The people behind the camera are miserable fools just out for attention

[Zac6230]

fuck you

[breisten]

This is great! 0:50 - LMAO

[guitarrocks97]

[greenspacedog]

Wooo. Woooooo. Wooo.

[Chaostricized]

The greatness of a nation can be measured by the way in which it treats its elderly, destitute and poor.

-good job Canada.

[GreenDirtPranks]

Wooooo. Woooooooo..... Woooooooooo. Woooooooooo!!!!! Hahahahaha

[ChuckTaylor78]

This is as despicable as "Bum Fights". You should be ashamed of yourself.

[OlderG0ds]

huh?

Oh wait these are bums? I thought they were average Canadians..

[BjGard]

HAHA that was kinda funny.. Have a sense of humor people

[uberscheisse]

nah, this is sarcasm at its finest.

[pnoyboy604]

You people are sick! You guys are nothing but worthless crackheads looking for their next fix. You want the government to help you so you can sit on your ass and do nothing while other people work hard and earn their money. Fuck you protesters! You guys are not gona accomplish anything by breaking windows.

[OscarLimaMike]

@pnoyboy604 Unfortunately The Vancouver area is home to many simple minded clowns that want to reduce the worlds problems down to fit their simple little self centered minds. Yeah maybe yelling fuck you will solve the problem....

[purposedrivenlife]

AWESOME VIDEO! Now THIS is the real Vancouver I remember!

[bluecafe69]

@Purposedrivenlife

You're kidding, right? These are the junkies and winos on downtown's eastside. You must have been homeless, if this is the Vancouver you remember. lol

[purposedrivenlife]

@bluecafe69 Are you kidding me?? These bums are everywhere collecting cans, getting high, and harassing pedestrians for change. Are you even from Vancouver? If you are, you obviously are a loner and don't get out much.

[bluecafe69]

I live in Greater Vancouver. I do not encounter people like this on a daily basis. Only when in downtown do you see people like this. What city does not have them? They in no way define Vancouver...

[purposedrivenlife]

@bluecafe69 Seriously? Wow, you must NEVER take transit. I see these ppl on the bus everyday.

[Zac6230]

vancouver is bum land you need to leave your trailer a time or two to see that

[randomjessica]

I live in Vancouver and these "bums" have NEVER harassed me or anyone I know. They may collect cans from garbages and the streets but I have no problem with it because they are recycling! Maybe you should open your eyes and realize that not all of the homeless are drug addicts, some suffer from mental illness and have been rejected by society. Wake up.

[purposedrivenlife]

@randomjessica If they stick to recycling and mind their own business, thats cool. If they constantly chase you for change, start fights on the bus, take up 3 seats on the bus, and go in public while high or drunk...well I have a problem.

[randomjessica]

I agree :)

I think we need to get these people off the streets into rehabilitation centres and psychiatric hospitals. Sometimes people need more than once chance...

[OscarLimaMike]

Well with all the money that was poured into the games could have helped every one of them. Funny how our shitty governments whine and claim poverty and cut funding to our social systems and then magically all of a sudden out of thin air 6+ billion dollars appears to be spent on a party.

[randomjessica]

I know, it's quite weird how that happened...

[OscarLimaMike]

@purpoaedrivenlife: Try living their life for a month you shallow judgmental piece of crap.... purpose driven life LOL... and what purpose is that? To be the most obnoxious narrow minded swine in any place you happen to stumble upon? Who gives a shit what is cool with you or not you low life imbecile. If it is such a problem to you please tell me shit for brains, what are you doing about it? Now fuck off and stop making an ass out of yourself. And have a nice day.

[purposedrivenlife]

@OscarLimaMike If you are a homeless orphan living in a 3rd world country like Rwanda that is not your fault and deserve everyone's sympathy. If you are a homeless bum on the streets of Vancouver that is YOUR fault because you chose to do drugs and live like this. Don't give me that bullsh** that they are not drug users, please, try offering them a free meal instead of change (which they will use for drugs) and see how they respond.

You are living in a dream world you stupid little kid.

[OscarLimaMike]

@purposedrivenlife I do and have given them food and if I give them a loonie I don't care what they use it for. If I lived their life I would want to get high too. You are indeed a simple minded callous loudmouthed idiot and that is more than evident by the stupidity you spew like the pompous ass you apparently are. You have decided that everyone there is there because of their own fault because that is the extent that you are willing or more likely able to think about the issue.

[purposedrivenlife]

@OscarLimaMike So you think being poor is an excuse to do drugs? Please, it is people like you that is perpetuating the drug crisis. The next time a heroine addict breaks into your car for drug money, don't start crying because you asked for it. If you think doctors are pompous asses, then I guess I'm an idiot. You probably are a drug user yourself with a crappy job which is why you are sympathetic to these people. I just have to laugh!

[OscarLimaMike]

@purposedrive Oh how cutting, I'm wounded. Wow not even close cupcake. You miss every point there is either intentionally or because you lack the capacity for anything but juvenile simple minded drivel. Either way you bore me and I find little reason to continue so have a nice life. Hopefully you will acquire some depth and hey maybe even some empathy and sympathy.... who knows miracles happen.

[purposedrivenlife]

@OscarLimaMike What a waste of words, you can't even address the social issue at hand but rather you resort to petty little name calling. What are you, in the 8th grade? Is this the education that my tax dollars are paying for? Great.

[purposedrivenlife]

@OscarLimaMike You write a whole paragraph and have failed to make one single point to support your argument. Too many stupid people in this city.

[Christoph56]

I live in a nice place out on Commercial drive in East Van, and believe me, I see these kinds of people on a regular basis. Lucky thing is, they are just like the video shows... homeless, but friendly, and kinda fun to watch. Great concept and great video!

[farang82]

lol i used to live in vancouver

this looks like it was shot in east hastings

that place is freaky

[starrystarrynightall]

I love this!! Real people!

[nickpercival]

the greedy basterds earned about a dollar a minute!

[ZxJxPRODUCTIONxHOUSE]

Great Video

[sashazindel]

I'd like to see it on CTV though.

[stormchaser420]

im sure everyone is saying its canada's "time to shine"....its our time to shine because we host some stupid olympic games? wow what a non worthy achievement...we ..the people of vancouver are getting GOUGED for our money to pay for this event that most of us dont even care for. BC is capable of many achievements....global sustainability should be number 1 on our top priority not this olympic garbage. who cares if tina from fucking romania can fucking SKI..

[stormchaser420]

i think we should have spend 1 billion on making the city better. I live with my mom and we are pretty poor but we work and manage to live good lives. I have lived in east vancouver for a long time and i can see and breath the pain of the homeless. I pass by them everyday and look into their eyes and feel their struggle i can see them suffer out in the cold sometimes. instead of spending1 billion to save ppl and making things right we glamorize athletes and sports for the mostly rich

[natedawg3654]

they're not children...they chose their path

[uberscheisse]

true, but once you're addicted to something like cocaine, heroin, or even alcohol... let's put it this way - have you ever gone through recovery? have you ever been addicted to something? it changes your body chemistry completely.

they may have chosen the path at one point, but now the choice is no longer theirs.

[natedawg3654]

no, but i have worked at a shelter so i know these people better than most. And i can tell you for a fact that 90% don't want help. It's their lifestyle they sit in the parks and get drunk with their buddies and come to the shelters to eat and sleep on the cold nights.

They get fed very well and the''re good guys generally most are just so far gone from society that there's no coming back and they know it.

The responsibility of managing a residence would be too much for most.

[uberscheisse]

i've worked in shelters too. i think your 90% figure is a little off.

the people who don't want help are the ones who have gone so far that they're waiting to die. with support, they don't need to get to that point.

but - your last point - you're correct. helping these people is a job that can destroy your soul - that's why i don't do it anymore.

[OscarLimaMike]

@natedawg3654 Sounds like it was too much for you. "They are really well fed" if you believe that you are either a liar or a fool. I actually doubt very much that you have ever done anything more than walked by a shelter. Thoughts like yours are something like telling a pregnant woman that you will not treat her because she got herself into her predicament by having sex. Really sad. people like you have no business being anywhere near a shelter.

[natedawg3654]

@OscarLimaMike Actually i did work at a Mission for 2 years and like i said they are VERY well fed they get 3 meals a day and we put out snacks every 2 hours there is a full staff in the kitchen making food for 6 am straight until after dinner.

You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about .

[OscarLimaMike]

Respond to this video...

@natedawg3654 I've been to those missions and have seen how it is there. Where did you work? UGM? Sally An, St. Mary's, Catholic Charities? I've been to them all.

Yes if you are homeless in Vancouver and you don't have anything else to do but stand in lines all day for prison food you can keep yourself fed. You won't be able to do anything else with your life but you will have some Salisbury steak in your stomach. That is better than starving but ... cont...

[OscarLimaMike]

Your statement that most don't want help is wrong. They are just in various states of hopelessness which leads to more substance abuse and degradation and fake help designed more for job creation for the ministry than really helping anyone and it snowballs until you get a people who surrender and get swallowed up by the shit storm that is their lives. And then yes they are too far gone and then just go as far as they can until they die. I have no clue? I think I have more of a clue than you.

[OscarLimaMike]

Most of these victims actually have more guts and stamina than most of the jackass's spewing their simple minded stupidity on here. You see them after many years of living a live you couldn't hack six months and you look down and judge them as less than. Sounds like it is better that you left.

[purposedrivenlife]

@OscarLimaMike I wouldn't talk about jobs. I'm a doctor (you asked). Its always the uneducated, low class and IQ who like to insult people's intelligence and jobs. What do you do for a living? It sounds like you're the one flipping burgers, go back to the streets to your pothead hoodlum friends and stay there. Don't come to our end.

[OscarLimaMike]

@purposedrivenlife Still yammering away huh? Wow you clearly have some psychiatric issues. A doctor no less. LOL that's hilarious and would be frightening and if it were true it would be equally amazing how a medical professional still manages to come across as a semi literate jackass. Although I must admit after having seen what passes for professionalism in the local medical community in some cases I guess it is not impossible just highly unlikely and again a pretty frightening thought.

[purposedrivenlife]

@OscarLimaMike Why do you think you are entitled to call insult other people's mental stability or intelligence when you don't even have a Bachelors degree? Go back to school or get a real job and sponging off our tax dollars. You think doctors aren't people too and entitled to their own opinions? Please. We may be professional to patients but we know bullsh*t when we see it.

[purposedrivenlife]

@stormchaser420 If you are an honest, working citizen you deserve help. If you are a drug user, steal people's cars, chase and harass bystanders on the streets for change for drugs then you don't. I believe in giving back, but I'd rather burn money than give it to these people.

[JPNesker]

hahahahahaha

[fluidphoto73]

This is a great spoof!! Truly!! Yeah, the Olympic 5 - Ring Circus is costing Canadian Taxpayers about $6 Billion Dollars..., of course with that money, we could've created real solutions for our homeless epidemic, drug treatment, mental health, etc..., but fuck it, instead we're blowing this money on a 2 week Party that most Canadians will not be able to afford to see personally, but a party we'll all be paying off for many years down the road!! Talk about an Olympic 'Legacy', and Hangover!!

[shakky5]

I just love this vid i allmost cried. It's your time to shine canada.

[fingertaping]

why do you guys write such long ass comments

[OscarLimaMike]

@fingertaping why do you write such inane nonsensical ones?

[doomkun]

LOOL!!

i love my city!!

[Justin11235813]

great satire. lets enjoy the games and if you have a problem with the government then hold them accountable next election.

[10020113001]

OLYMPICS WOOO!!!!

[T2000SVT]

I saw the "wooooooo" guy today, he was sleeping in a gutter

[Senniemiec]

Haha love it! Hilarious.

[vancitypuff]

the olympics are inevitable... may as well enjoy them. the time for protesting was way back when they actually asked us if we wanted the olympics.

[pppempe]

I understand the concept, but what kind of supercilious bastard does it take to make these people perform on cue for some kind of psuedo West Van social activist. What a load of crap. Why don't you just bring on the bum fights you superior sons of bitches. What Mission Production is this ? A Jesuit Mission attempting to convert Natives?

[Mcamp2525]

2) Nobody force these dudes to be homeless crackheads.... don't give me the mental issue. They know exactly what the fuck they are doing, so why is it wrong for us to make this video its jokes and if they didn't want to be filmed they could have walked away.... so take your save the homeless anti olympic bull shit to the next PHISH music video on youtube......

[MarcoPoloShirt27]

You really think that these people "know exactly what the fuck they are doing"? It's hard to take you seriously when you say that. Or "don't give me the mental issue" Uhh.....Why?

The mental issue is incredibly relevant to the situation, a large portion of these unfortunate people have mental disorders. To suggest otherwise is pure ignorance. No one forces them to be homeless crackheads.....but it isn't a black and white issue like you seem to have made it.

Great input though.......

[andymason49]

@MarcoPoloShirt27

and the reason is...?

they were PUT there by the friggin Government cuts to health care for mental patients! Many had no place to go, so they got caught up on te streets, and there is nothing there but misery, so crack your brain to not think about it anymore...I met many of those in this video, if not by name, then by face, during the many years I worked in the Lower East side of Vancouver, and the West End!

[OscarLimaMike]

@andymason49 exactly.... good points Andy

[OscarLimaMike]

@MarcoPoloShirt27 I agree. Take a child and rape them beat them and abuse them in all manner of ways before they have formed any kind of self image or defense mechanism against the darker side to human nature and then cut them adrift in the world denying them any real help in school or the community then the downtown east side, (and places like it) is what you get as the pain and alienation crystalize. Then you get luckier smug idiots passing judgment on them as if they had any reference..

[nickpercival]

Mcamp2525 for president!

[nitr0burn]

Wrong country.

[nitr0burn]

Waaahhhhhhh....

[Mcamp2525]

Time to make a comment. 1) does anybody even fucking care what hippy ass save the crack ass homeless in Vancouver lover Humaner or Evano think..... Your both the obvious internet hater, you come on saying for shame nick, and how you give your money too food banks. while we all know your sitting your fat ass at starbucks drinking your $5 coffee and trying to feel smart preeching some winey ass save the homeless bull shit

[OscarLimaMike]

@Mcamp2525 Yeah we should give up trying to make our society better, stop caring for others. The easiest thing in the world to do if you don't want to think or care about anyone but yourself is to blame the victims. Pretty pathetic and weak minded IMHO.

[TheJayduece]

lmao

[engagementofthemind]

@ T2000SVT I hear Hitler is recruiting, you should pay him a visit.

[Delirium1712]

hahahaha....funny video

[TheJustinJustin]

Take your free speech hatred elsewhere.

Commie

[nitr0burn]

There is a reason Vancouver is the least affordable city in the world.

[Zac6230]

@nitr0burn  its overpriced

[evano42]

So, did you pay these people to film them playing roles in your tendentious propaganda? I hope so. Because otherwise, you were exploiting them. And it's immoral to exploit the poor and downtrodden.

[TheJustinJustin]

Evano, that is my favourite comment yet.

Kudos, you do wonderful work

[evano42]

Well, thanks. I write in intelligible sentences and don't post until I have a reasonably complete message to communicate--one that originates in my mind and not in my crotch. But I guess if we all did that, the Internet would be a strange and scary place for the likes of nickpercival.

[maestroman7]

@evano42 Just so that you know, TheJustinJustin was mocking you.

Why are you so angry? Take your right-wing communist bullshit elsewhere.

[evano42]

If TJJ was mocking me, he didn't do a very good job, did he? Angry, maestroman7? I daresay you seem a lot angrier than I do. Perhaps you're angry because of your stunning lack of education or inability to assimilate whatever education you were given: right-wing communist??? Don't you mean left-wing communist or right-wing fascist? Who knows what you mean... You are breathtakingly stupid. And I say that not with anger, but pity.

[maestroman7]

@evano42 Haha, I think TJJ did a damn good job of mocking you because you didn't even notice you were being mocked.

You sure like using big words to prove the point that you are smarter and better than me and everybody on the interent.. Look at you, proving your internet superiority, telling me I have lack of education and 'pitying' me. Please, do not pity me, I am unworthy.

[evano42]

If your intent is to mock and you say the exact opposite of what you mean, without the benefit of a sarcastic tone of voice or the remotest contextual hint of irony, then you have failed to achieve mockery. So, if you're right, TJJ is an underachieving satirist; if I'm right, he was paying a straightforward compliment. As for "big" words, I simply try to express my ideas with care and precision, without resorting needlessly to obscenity and slang. The 'point', as you put it, proves itself.

[maestroman7]

@evano42 Well TJJ is my brother, and I am 100% sure he was mocking you. The best form is mocking is the mocking that isn't even noticed.

But yes, the 'point' has been proven, you certainly are the higher intellect. You have proven your internet superiority.

[TheJustinJustin]

You're right evano42. I was paying you a straightforward compliment, you've brought up valid points here and I really feel your opinion should be heard by a bigger audience. Don't waste your time with these ignorant wannabe satirists.

[nickpercival]

immoral...........fag.

[evano42]

nickpercival........pathetic.

[nitr0burn]

Filming without compensation is not exploitation. So every tourist is an exploiter? Using our city to their own gain. How dare they film out city without paying...

[evano42]

That is a very lame analogy indeed. The producers of this satirical video have used real street people to look into the camera and speak scripted words conveying the producers' anti-Olympic agenda (we're just supposed to assume that they sympathize with that agenda). Therefore, the people on camera are actors and should be compensated for their work. If they weren't paid, they were exploited. QED. How is that even remotely like tourists taking videos and photos?

[PynkWalkr]

fucking brilliant

[00StangGT00]

why do these anti-olympics idiots think if we spent as much on homelessness as we did on the olympics it would change anything? most of these pathetic people are beyond help and if you give them money alot of them would go spend it on drugs or booze. some of them don't even have mental issues or addictions they're more then capable of getting off their sorry ass and doing something about it, i have no sympathy for those ones.

[stephenpaultaylor]

fuck you

[humaner]

00StangGT00 Thats right pathetic people should be put to death ....I just hope when your older and you need help someone pushes you over a cliff ..little angry punk.

[00StangGT00]

when did i say they should be put to death you illiterate fuck learn how to read. and money's not an issue for me so hope that all you want you brokeass haha

[nitr0burn]

Ok there troll. Obviously if someone with a substance abuse problem is only given money, they would spend it on drugs. Good thing that isn't how it works. Please, educate yourself before making comments based on an idea that is not being presented.

[humaner]

Amazing the anger and filth that is allowed on youtube...you are why there is a word called psychopath and anti-social. Don't email troll your spam and the lowest kind...

[humaner]

Dumb cracker racing in Vancouver is illegal

[TheJustinJustin]

Why did the deaf man take his parrot to the hardware store?

Because he was weird.

video of the year.

[shakadabooty]

Oh wow! This is brilliant! I'm so glad to see something that speaks to the appalling reality of our city, and the truth that VANOC and the other powers that be are trying to sweep under the rug while on the world stage...all so that SO few can make SO much money while the rest of us pay the price for years to come. Thank you for posting this!

[MehganFox]

video of the year

[kittykatz1980]

It's nice to see people taking the time to post the flip side to all the media propaganda around the games. These people are a part of the reality in this city, and not just rubbish to be cast aside in hopes of creating a false face and sense of security for the rest of the world.

[ashmo131]

I could not agree with sniperslayer more. The homeless need to want to be fixed for it to happen and they clearly do not want to be.

[rockytherobson]

holy... eating chicken with a lit cigarete in his hand

[casinodwarf]

I liked the dude at the end. I see him do that all the time.

I really don't care. Accept 2010 Bitches.  It's here.

[APackofOilJays]

omg almost shit myself with the chinese guy at the end lol do you believe? lol

[falsealarm4]

from vancouver (kits) this is fucking fantastic. it just made my year, so far.

[Macneil06]

Who gives a shit about all this polical bullshit...its a funny fuckin video..take the video for what it is...hilarious

[humaner]

Really hilarious how are mentally challenged and drug addicted people hilarious..i don't get your funny brand of english humour.

[humaner]

This is the best video on you tube!!!!!

[FTRbigbadwolf]

P R I C E L E S S

FTR

[hayo456]

all you anti olympic fucks, stop complaining, yes, vancouver has homless issues, yes, we need to do something about it, but stop hating on the olympics, its a special event which should be embraced, and your ruining it for everybody

[humaner]

hayo I just want to say fuck you..all the money these political scum and corporate monsters make should go directly to help these people.Vancouver is a disgrace ..completely 3rd world in how it treats its most vulnerable citizens.

[hayo456]

dont get me wrong dude, im left too, and i do feel we have a ton of problems, but you need to come to terms that these games are happening and as vancouverite, we need to accept them

btw, i dont think ranting on youtube is gonna change the mans opinion

[humaner]

Actually I don't accept them I didn't buy a ticket because I donated it too a food bank..this hype has got to end this mindless corporate religion ..people are what matter and its governments only job is too help the sick and downtrodden,not some skinny 19 year old flip flop down a milliondollar ski run .

[TheJustinJustin]

This video is sick.

Bunch of free speech haters.

[dragoneyes001]

if half the homeless and crackheads were not from other city's who decided to park their asses here because its warmer in the winter we wouldn't have the huge problem we do. The Olympics are not the cause of the homelessness and even without the games it wouldn't be any more solved.

[T2000SVT]

the voice overs are for the retards who couldn't speak clear enough

[sniperslayer]

every fucking city in the world has homelessness OMG Vancouver has 3 blocks that are bad in a city of millions, there's no way we should be able to host the olympics!

[humaner]

You missed the point the point is homelessness can be fixed just like the ridiculous highway to whistler so yuppies and bubble economy ripp off artists can party.

[sniperslayer]

your an idiot and clearly dont know how reality works..

you put the billions that the olympics cost and put that into homelessness and you will have twice as many skids coming to Vancouver because they know there's funding for them here, these people want a hand-out, not a hand-up, as a hard working tax payer i'd rather see the money go towards showcasing our city than providing needles to a junky who should be back on his indian reservation.

[humaner]

With an attitude like that karma will makes sure your homeless a 23 year old playing video games at mommies house telling us about reality..little punk.

[beansica]

wow to see something so real..... you guys are too funny. BITCH

[TR4iN]

wooooooot awesome!

[csmarsha]

Awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ellayellay]

Okay, the script is cute.

But what's with all the voice overs?

Way to make your point, silencing others by putting your voice over theirs. Isn't that exactly the opposite of the point you're trying to make?

[beansica]

@ellayellay shut up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ryanknodel]

Nick, that's the funniest shit ever! Believe bitches!!! hoooooooooo hoooooooooo hoooooooo

[citruscinders]

brilliant

[lorney44]

lol @ 1:27 "we believe"

[nickpercival]

no the games really dont help them. if anything its making them more poor , if thats even possible.

[nickpercival]

unless they train super hard and take home the gold.....discuss.

[jefft78]

This is really sad because this is the reality in vancouver. THE GAMES DO NOTHING TO HELP THESE PEOPLE.

[nickpercival]

do you believe hooooo hoooooo

[m00se321]

Like they give a S#*T about the Olympics,,but maybe the HockeyGame !!

[nickpercival]
