Ashton Kutcher vs. CNN: The End of Civilization

April 15th, 2009 // 51 Comments

Ashton Kutcher has challenged CNN to see who can be the first to reach 1 million Twitter followers. The news network currently sits at 937,000+ followers with DoucheNozzle McGillicudy slowly gaining at 888,000+. The AP reports:

The 31-year-old actor recently threw down the gauntlet, challenging CNN and its founder, Ted Turner. In a Web video posted earlier this week, Kutcher said he would ding-dong-ditch Turner’s house if he beat CNN to 1 million. (For those unfamiliar with the classic adolescent prank, ding-dong-ditch is when you ring someone’s doorbell and run away.)
“I find it astonishing that one person can actually have as big of a voice online as what an entire media company can on Twitter,” Kutcher said in a video he posted on qik.com. “I just thought that was kind of an amazing comment on the state of our media.”

Before everybody starts freaking out at the shockingly evident decay of society as a whole, I should point out that Ashton is still in 3rd place for reaching 1 million Twittees. BEHIND BRITNEY SPEARS. Okay, now start freaking out. Who’s up for some looting?

Ashton Kutcher makes a birthday vow
His 33rd year was definitely eventful, with a much talked-about new job and a split from Demi Moore. Tame-on-Twitter Ashton Kutcher posted a nice note for his Two and a Half Men family Tuesday, who presented him with a photo birthday cake as he turned 34.

    If I ever created a Twitter account, it would just say “Look at me.” every 3 hours. The only people who Twitter are self-righteous whores.

    I wouldn’t even take pause if that douche nozzle were to jump in front of a bus. He’s so hip. What a fucking cock. Man I hate him. No talent, not funny and certainly peaked with Dude Where’s My Car.

    And I like following @FeliciaDay on twitter. Felicia = awesome.

    wow, we had a slightly more catchy, and MUCH more racist name for it when I was a kid. In retrospect, it was all kinds of wrong.

    State of our media? What a fuckin’ retard, it’s a comment on the state of our society, i.e. people like him who would rather live vicariously through a douchenozzle than pay attention to news.

    It’s also fairly obvious that anyone interested in the news is not trying to get it through ineffective means like Twitter. Only people who use Twitter think Twitter is relevant.

    #28 Testing, testing…”fap” sound…hmmm, no. “right hand” reference….uhh, nope. Implication that RichPort is a horny SOB who can’t get laid….overused imitation of the Fish writer’s favorite schtick, so deduct 10 points for plagarism, 50 for repetition. Result — nope, not even the slightest bit funny, just a sad duplicate of the 3,974.776 entries you’ve posted as RichPort’s Ghost this past year . Who, you might have noticed at this point if you had a brain, doesn’ t post after 5 PM EST.
    See, let me explain something so clearly even you get it, so I don’t have to get called back in here – if we know it’s you, and not the real RichPort, your post comes off as tired and pathetic (which it does even when you post during that time, too). Normally we might have some sympathy for you, you poor obsessed no-name fuckwit, if you made us laugh just once. As it is, hang it up, flush yourself and spare me. I’m busy enough dealing with those fuckers on YouTube and I Can Haz Cheesburger, don’t make me call your mom on you. You know what happened the last time and it wasn’t pretty. I didn’t think a keyboard could be jammed that far up anyone’s ass, but you learn something new every day.
    And I notice you still can’t stop sniffing your finger after you give the BackSpace key a workout.

    Ashton Kutcher Still Alive, Twittering.

    What was Ashtons last significant accomplishment, anyway?

    Can’t imagine anyone being fascinating enough that I would want constant updates all day. I don’t even care that much about what I’m doing. I just check in with myself once a week or so to make sure I’m still around.

    Geez, at least CNN has news or something doesn’t it? Not just old lady butts slobbing around the house in bikinis?

    #40 Not even Disney could do a goddamn thing with possums but I find aquatic mammals kind of cute, and I otter know. See that? I made a joke, and in my line of work we burn out, quick so enjoy it. The only good thing about that fucktard at #28 is that he’s never registered once with me, but my cousin, Attention-Whore-O-Meter, died from exhaustion last week and he’s to blame.

    What the fuck is it with everyone wearing knit caps as fashion accessories? Do they really believe it makes them look fashionable? Looks to me like someone ready to pull it down over his face and rob a 7-11. Just another goddamn brainless trend-follower. But they still have the arrogance to try and tell us how to vote and how to live. Fuck ‘em all.

    “I just thought that was kind of an amazing comment on the state of our media.”

    It says something alright, it says the world is being overrun by people who are more concerned with the exploits of a mother fixated, emotionally stunted hunk and his mate, than they are in the war and the economy. Mike Judge’s Idiocracy, people, we are living it.
