Livin' good, baby.

America. Fuck yeah.

 

[lethial]

How dare you post positive news. What a nerve.

 

[Kinitari]

The most surprising thing about this is how well spoken he is. It makes me imagine that he had a good life at one point, but something fucked it all up. Glad to see him back on his feet and kicking his addictions.

 

[the chris]

How dare you post positive news. What a nerve.

Not only is it positive, but he had the gall to thank god too. How dare he push his religion on us.

 

[Count Dookkake]

That is good. Last I'd heard, he had relapsed.

Haha. You really showed us...






...that you don't understand what that thread was about.

 

[mjc]

Glad to see he's doing well. I remember reading he had some problems with rehab/getting the police called on him.

 

[Bit-Bit]

What the hell, he lives better than me!

Good for him! I was hoping he wasn't going to relapse.

 

[maquiladora]

Too much Entertainment Tonight backslapping in that.

 

[LakeEarth]

I'm happy for him. I'm glad that it sounds like rehab worked, although it took him a couple of tries.

 

[SolKane]

Before we praise America we should also recognize that the conditions which allowed him to become homeless in the first place (and hundreds of thousands others) were created in the same country. Glad he was able to leave that situation, though.

 

[clemenx]

Heh, I expected him to be homeless again and all but forgotten by everyone. This is good!

 

[Omegasquash]

Good on him, man. Good on him.

But I was being sarcastic...

Your words have convinced me.


DEATH TO AMERICA!

 

[smurfx]

Heh, I expected him to be homeless again and all but forgotten by everyone. This is good!

yeah when i read the thread title i thought shit went to hell but i'm happy to see him succeed.

 

[Count Dookkake]

But I was being sarcastic...

Ha. It's hard to tell these days.

 

[Barrett2]

Thats awesome. Good thing he had enough of a legit support group around him over the last year to help him through multiple rehab attempts.

 

[Digishine]

He got really lucky that he got out of it.

 

[delta25]

Good for him.

Keep on truckin Ted.

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

Girlfriend too? I have no fucking excuses.

 

[bengraven]

I was worried about him when he kept popping up in the news with drug and domestic issues. I almost gave up on him, so it's glad to see he made it through.

Ugh, seriously though, ET taking credit?

Yeah, how dare we disillusion ourselves with a moment of happiness without scrutinizing every aspect of that happiness?

You must be the life of the party.

 

[Kinitari]

He can afford a live-in rehab couch, which is amazing. I wish all addicts could afford that sort of luxury.

Girlfriend too? I have no fucking excuses.

Motherfucker have you HEARD his voice? Don't feel too bad.

 

[Nizz]

What a feel good story. I remember not hearing much about him after first hearing about his story. So good that he got himself together.

 

[eternaLightness]

Glad to see he's doing so well.

 

[Hungry Ghost]

Why are all the related videos on youtube of skyrim?

 

[Wired]

WHO?

 

[BigJonsson]

Thats a lot of Skyrim videos


And lol @ the 2 ET staffers both being on their cell phones within 2 feet of each other like they were on to some breaking news scoops

 

[malfcn]

Weird as hell seeing him. I take that exit all the time. I probably rolled by him a few times and never knew..

 

[BobTheFork]

Glad to see he's doing so well.

Glad to see he's doing well again. He kind of had a slide after the original public bum rush. I thought it might not end up well.

 

[mxgt]

it's been that long? damn

glad he's doing well

 

[disappeared]

Bethesda will cast him as a character for Fallout 4, mark my words.

 

[Agnostic]

Thats awesome. Good thing he had enough of a legit support group around him over the last year to help him through multiple rehab attempts.

Yep. I assumed people would use him and move on after the hype had settled. I'm glad I was wrong.

 

[BruiserBear]

Yeah, drug addiction is purely an American problem. If he lived in some other country that would have never happened to him, and he never would have become homeless. /sarcasm

 

[Hyuga]

Man.... I was scared clicking this thread.
But... it's good! Good NEWS

I'm happy for him
*feelsgoodman*

 

[soundahfekz]

So awesome. Love to hear about people continuing to do well after struggling for so long.

 

[Miggytronz]

Good stuff.

 

[windz]

Good to see he's doing well, was expecting far worse news.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Amazing stuff. Good for him.

 

[.GqueB.]

This is all well and good but where is Antoine Dodson?

 

[Zaptruder]

Yeah, drug addiction is purely an American problem. If he lived in some other country that would have never happened to him, and he never would have become homeless. /sarcasm

What... and rags and riches is some kinda exclusively American story too?

 

[vagabondarts]

I love seeing this.

It makes me happy to see someone restored like this.

 

[Radec]

Still with dat great voice.

Awesome.

 

[tci]

Great news. Good on him!

Ugh, seriously though, ET taking credit?

That was embarrassing.

 

[ToxicAdam]

What a clusterfuck this thread is. Congrats on GAF for interjecting your petty politics into everything.


Hopefully the public never forgets about Ted. He seems like a guy who could turn into a role model for some if he keeps it together.

Guy has a fucking weird shaped face.

Sue everybody.

 

[.GqueB.]

Wait its already been a year? Time flies. Im getting old. Im gonna die soon.

 

[turnbuckle]

Great to hear. I remember people expecting him to be homeless again by this time, and after reports of his early struggles I was worried they were right.

I hope he's able to avoid people who will try to take advantage of him. This story ain't over yet, but it looks more like it'll have a happy ending. Seems like a great guy who had a lot of demons he was able to, or has been working to, overcome.
