Social Entrepreneurship with a twist?

Before I get into Social Entrepreneurship proper, here's a link that's truly entrepreneurial for a social cause.

Pimp This Bum!

Ethical issues aside, I think this is a brilliant way to effect change. In one of the videos on the site they quote Mother Theresa: If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

This isn't the first of its kind though, it's been done before. A family tried to auction their belongings on Ebay to tide them through the credit crunch.

In the words of my Social Entrepreneurship professor, "in what way is this entrepreneurial?" What do you think?
