Now behold how we stretch that last minute of the famed 15 into overtime:
Ted Williams was the Columbus homeless man who mounted the heights of internet sensationdom thanks to a viral video of his honey-sweet vocal chords in action. The whole thing was an easy mark for those of us glued to computers all day, just begging for a little sunshine: here was a guy who's promising career in broadcasting tripped over addiction and personal problems, getting a second chance. After the video broke, Williams was all over the place on national TV and radio, fielding many a job offer.
But, like the man says, there's no second act for American lives. Williams got too wrapped up in his own story, dropping back into substance abuse and bouncing around rehab. All those offers suddenly dried up.
Today, we're happy to say Williams is back on track and gainfully employed. The Columbus Dispatch reports Kraft Macaroni & Cheese will use Mr. Golden Pipes for a Valentine's Day campaign they're launching to fight hungry bellies.
