Kutcher threatens to stop Twittering

May 26th, 2009

According to CNN, Ashton Kutcher has threatened to stop Twittering after co-founder Biz Stone revealed Twitter has partnered with Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment to collaborate on a TV show to Variety magazine. The show, which is unscripted, would be "putting ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive format" according to Biz Stone.

Mr. Kutcher has 2 million Twitter followers, which one could speculate could generate enough bad PR to hurt Twitter pretty badly. Read more about his tweets on CNN.com. Some excerpts:

"Wow I hope this isn’t true. I really don’t like being sold out. May have to take a twitter hiatus."

Demi Moore, Mr. Kutcher’s wife, also threatened to shut down her Twitter account:

"I hope this isn’t true — if it is, our Twitter time may come to a quick and sad end!" Moore tweeted Monday.

What do you think? Would Twitter be better off with or without Kutcher? Sound off.

The 6 Worst ‘Professional’ Music Videos on the Web

May 15th, 2009

This is a really great compilation of shitty music videos that are, incredibly, real.

 

SWAIM (Slander Without Any Inherent Meaning) is one of my favorite sections at cracked.com. I particularly like the video about “rap-talker” Speak (“Stop the War”). With such prose as:

“sometimes people make a war”

“Tupac Shakur rest in peace…”

Doesn’t sound funny now but just watch, I won’t ruin it. Comment away.

Ms. Taken – Puke in my Mouth

May 6th, 2009

Looks like the ladies over at mstaken.com have decided to offer up a response to last year’s smash SNL Digital Short, “Jizz in my Pants” by Lonely Island (Fred Armisen and Andy Samberg of SNL) in like kind: by going digital. The new digital short is called “Puke in my Mouth” and shows off a giant but convincing fake diamond engagement ring (available for sale at their site, of course) as a way to keep the drunk losers off:
 
The freaks come out at night. They glom onto your elbow, disrupt your conversations and worst of all, they freeze out the real hot prospects.

 

 

…which of course is a perfect time to look at the original “Jizz in my Pants” video by Lonely Island:

 

Which one gets your vote?
