Kim Kardashian Is Dead (Joins Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga in digital death)
Kim Kardashian Is Dead

In one of the strangest World AIDS Day campaigns ever seen, Kim Kardashian (who is famous for something, apparently) and artists such as Lady Gaga, Ryan Seacrest, and Justin Timberlake are declaring their "digital deaths" and refusing to use Twitter or Facebook until they've raised a million dollars. The money goes to Alicia Keys' Keep A Child Alive Foundation.

Labels: Facebook, HIV/AIDS, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Twitter, World AIDS Day

I tried to make the headline as 'non-sensational' as possible.

1. It almost wants to make me not donate anything
to keep them all quiet.

2. That IS weird. BTW, I thought Kim Kardashian was famous for having a big butt. (?)
If that's the case, of course, I'm surrounded by famous people- and lovin' it.

6. If they raised $999,999.99 it would be such a win-win.
The charity gets a ton of cash, and they shut up forever.

7. The intent is noble, the idea is effing stupid
Money for a worthy cause is always a good thing...I guess that's all that matters.

8. The Keep a Child Alive Foundation needs to talk to its spokespeople, and rethink this promotion
Too many people would be happy for these "starts" to shut up for good that they may not get a half million, much less a million.

14. They'd better rethink their ad agency, too.
This has the potential to be as mortifying as the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie promotion.

29. Thank you for reading it...
As I stated, I tried to make it as non-confrontational as possible. I used the headline from the site I linked and added the part in quotes to ensure that people knew she had not really died.

But, hey, thanks for paying attention.

15. Ha - so all we have to do, to never hear from them again, is nothing?
Sounds too good to be true.

19. They could make their million faster if they kept Tweeting...
until they have enough donations to shut them up.

30. What about Spike Milligan?
So, you're telling me these celebrities, all worth multi-millions each, have decided the only way to scrap together $1 million is to make empty threats until the bottom 90% donates?
