Tito Ortiz Lectures a Homeless Guy

Here's your strange video of the day: UFC fighter Tito Ortiz and his girlfriend, porn star Jenna Jameson, standing on the sidewalk, surrounded by paparazzi, when a homeless man approaches and asks Ortiz for money. Ortiz decides to give him a lecture instead of a handout.

"I came from the streets, homeboy," Ortiz told him, in a confrontation that TMZ caught on camera. "I worked for my s**t. I used to wash cars when I was a kid. Laziness don't get you anywhere in life, dog. Laziness don't get you anywhere in life. I'm just saying -- you wouldn't be begging for money, right? I came from the streets."

The homeless man seemed offended by the response and questioned Ortiz's street cred, and Jameson tried to calm everyone down by suggesting, "Let's all be friends. Let's not fight."

What do you think? Was Ortiz right to give the guy some advice, or is it rude for a millionaire to lecture a homeless person? You tell me.

I would have done the samething. I'm sorry for sounding like an ass but people need to understand is that if you keep handing out money to the homeless they'll keep doing it over and over again.

Why is no one asking about this "homeless" guy?

Kinda strange that he would approach them in the middle of all that commotion. I'm not sure why Tito spoke so "ghetto" in this video, but I do agree with him.

If the man had said something like i have kids and no job , is there anything I may do so that i can get some help from you? maybe some money?? maybe I can work it off some how??
But to see a large man looking quite healthily and capable of working.(let’s face it kind of weird) approach them during an interview and ask for a hand out.... tito said I’m from the streets... he’s right!!!! Because anyone with street smarts knows you never wip out money in broad daylight(flash the cash) he could be setting up a gunman down the road..this is how things are done in the streets!! (With the economy it only gets worse) we would all like to give people the benefit.... but when you do come from the streets you are hardened with street smarts! I total relate with tito…
