Ashton Kutcher wins Twitter War

April 17th, 2009 // 53 Comments

Seen here on the set of his new movie Five Killers, Ashton Kutcher has officially won the Twitter race to acquire 1 million asshats. He beat out CNN and Britney Spears who were in first and second place respectively at the start of the contest. People reports:

For the past few days, he’d been locked in a race with CNN’s breaking news feed — (@cnnbrk), but just before midnight Thursday he became the first “Twitter millionaire.” Around 1:30 he tweeted, “Victory is ours!!!!!!!!” and posted a twitpic of the win.
Kutcher says he’s donating 10,000 mosquito nets to the medical charity Malaria No More to celebrate, and the video-game publisher Electronic Arts says the millionth follower will become a character in “The Sims.” Plus, there’s the promised ding-dong-ditch of Ted Turner’s Atlanta home to look forward to!

While the fact that more people follow Ashton Kutcher’s twatting than actual events in the real world should make me want to retreat to a bomb shelter, all I have to say is “Fuck yeah, job security!” In the meantime, sincere condolences to civilization. Good game.

    Gun ownership is NOT the problem. I live in Texas where there are more
    guns than people and you don’t see this kind of violence here. It comes down to attitudes. Texans are, generally, taught to respect guns. When we have a beef with someone, we either talk to them about it or knock the tar out of them, we DO NOT SHOOT them. You will find that shootings in Texas are usually perpetrated by someone from somewhere else or gang related (and most gang members are black or illegal Mexicans in Texas). Our guns are for hunting, protecting our soverign borders and to protecting our families, neighbors and ourselves from idiot Californians who respect nothing and no one. I lived there for about 15 years as a television writer and subsequently working for top executives in the entertainment industry. I left when a man decided he had a beef with MCA-Universal and shot 40 rounds with a high powered rifle into the black tower executive building at Universal where I was working. I decided I had had enough of California insanity. I came back to Texas where at least I know where “Bubba” is coming from. God bless TEXAS!!!

    A read an article by a geek who argued this event signaled the death of Twitter, at least as something potentially useful or interesting. Specifically, he argued that celebrities will attract mindless follower fans to Twitter and in turn put out the inane and vacuous stuff that celebrities talk about on talk shows. As opposed to when Twitter is interesting – like when the CNN reporter Rick Sanchez gives out details about news stories that aren’t aired, or tries to respond to questions that catch him a little flat-footed. That’s the exact opposite of the highly pre-packed say-nothing “stylings” of celebrities.

    Anyway, the point is: if Ashton can refrain from talking and has a big cock, I’d love to fuck him. Once.

    #8 – after reading that fine example of Texan intellect, perspective, and grasp of appropriate context, I finally understand why your Governor has decided to refuse federal stimulus money and instead secede from the United States. You won’t be a separate country as much as the largest free-range special ed facility in the world.

    i sat my 4month old on the sofa against some cushions while i went 10 steps away to get myself some food. i heard a small series of loud thunks, whirled around, and to my horror saw my baby lying face down between the couch and the coffee table

    he had tipped slowly forward and off the couch, and probably hit the edge of the table and the leg and the lower shelf on the way down. when i got to him his head was resting on the lower shelf, so obviously his head had hit it.

    Should I be worried at this point and call a doctor, or just put him to bed? Im tired of the crying.

    Call the doctor and make yourself feel better. When in doubt call the doctor with infants – and especially if there is significant hematoma (bruising).

    #14–*looking around here* This is The Superficial, not Mommy MD. So, in that vain….um, you should probably make him a strong vodka gimlet for his nap time bottle and put him to sleep and tell you don’t be such a dumbfuck the next time and carry your kid with you to stuff your fat fucking face.

    but if this were Mommy MD, I’d ask you if the kid lost consciousness, if the kid seems alert, if the kid is vomiting…..I’d be more worried about the neck, actually, because them baby heads are pretty solid. You should call your pediatrician…..if you even have one of those because you seem pretty stupid. (remember, this IS the Superficial.)

    On a lighter note – The Kutch has officially ruined the Internet. It will now never be the same – most likely a fad like mullets and LSD, once popular but now just a footnote in history.

    I think people are forgetting that the vast majority of people on Twitter are idiot kids who think its cool to constantly tell others what the’re doing. I’m 20 and don’t know a single person who has ever used the site. I think most people use it for celebrity updates anyway, so its not surprising that actual news wouldn’t be as big a draw… the people who obsess over Twitter probably can’t name more than 5 US presidents, so it makes sense that they wouldn’t follow breaking news.

    I’m sure it’s not possible.

    God, and I didn’t think it would be remotely possible to hate this douche any more than I already do…

    Twitter is now officially the tool of douchebags.
