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

[WillParkinson]

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.

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.

[meegbear]

3. +1

[pansypoo53219]

21. + 2.

my aunt explained who kim was but i still don't know. who?

[Poll_Blind]

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.

4. Who?

[JHB]

5. Paul did it better. n/t

[flvegan]

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.

11. Small doantions over a VERY long period of time--a real win-win! nt

[Amerigo Vespucci]

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.

[MadHound]

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.

[rocktivity]

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.

9. They say that as though it's a bad thing.

[de novo]

10. Can we donate, but stipulate it is to keep them digitally dead?

[blondeatlast]

12. A penny a day--would they go for it?

:rofl:

[whistler162]

13. No they have stopped using twitter... unrec for

idiotic use of the word dead!

[blondeatlast]

16. The poster didn't use it--the promotional site did.

Um, just, :wow:

[blondeatlast]

17. Fixed it for ya. nt

[WillParkinson]

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.

[crikkett]

15. Ha - so all we have to do, to never hear from them again, is nothing?

Sounds too good to be true.

[fatbuckel]

18. Bye-Bye. I`ll donate but not because of them.

[rucky]

19. They could make their million faster if they kept Tweeting...

until they have enough donations to shut them up.

[John Kerry VonErich]

20. Of course Germanatti would stick her nose in it.

She's in it for the attention.

[JonLP24]

22. Good for them

REC.

[Recovered Repug]

23. How much has to be raised

for them to stay "dead"?

[L0oniX]

24. I'm crushed ...I can't shit without Lady Gaga.

[FreeState]

25. K&R I love Gaga - she is an outspoken woman with a cause n/t

[slackmaster]

26. How's Abe Vigoda holding up?

[Poll_Blind]

33. I cannot believe that was Abe Vigoda. Hot damn...

[joeybee12]

27. If only!

:evilgrin:

[NuclearDem]

28. ...

I would donate a million dollars so they would PERMANENTLY shut up.

[the redcoat]

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?

[Codeine]

31. If only they'd stay dead. Fucking zombies. nt

[live love laugh]

32. So this is like ransom then, as in "if you ever want to hear from me again..."? LMAO, nt
