Ashton Kutcher challenges CNN to Twitter popularity contest

Ashton Kutcher has challenged CNN to a popularity contest on the social media site Twitter...
As of Wednesday afternoon, Kutcher's Twitter account had 889,653 followers, putting him in third place in the number of followers. Britney Spears was in second with about 904,000 followers, and CNN's breaking news account was watched by 937,507 people on the site.

i don't know what bothers me more: ashton kutcher's overblown ego or cnn actually acknowledging this ridiculous publicity stunt. isn't the economy still in the shitter? pirates? can't we just show some more b-roll of bo the dog? anything but this. oh, but if you want, you can follow me on twitter.

First, he promised to "Ding-Dong-Ditch" Ted Turner's house if he got to a million first. Then, being the generous, social-minded human being that he is, offered to donate 1,000 net beds through Malaria No More. Now, not only will Ashton Kutcher make his donation regardless of the outcome of the race, everyone has a chance to make a difference, even those who don't use Twitter. A T-Shirt design is available at http://www.cafepress.com/bekajoth and 50% of the profits from every sale will be donated to Malaria No More. If every user purchases one shirt, it will raise at least $2 Million Dollars for a great cause.
