WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
When you see a headline and that is the first thing that pops into your head you know you have to read it. Let's try and figure out how this would make any sense whatsoever before we actually get their explanation first shall we?
So...in an effort to raise some money for something they have decided to stop using the way they communicate to people dumb enough to give them money instead of an actual REAL charity. You know like one that isn't a huge tax shelter for celebrities that wastes most of the money on administration costs rather than just team up with a well established charity? Yeah...this is a pet peeve of mine. Donations used to pay paper pushers makes ALL kinds of sense doesn't it? Clearly more appropriate than just say giving to one of the big charities that are already established.
Anyways, the stars are part of a new campaign called Digital Life Sacrifice that will benefit Alicia Keys' AIDS charity, Keep a Child Alive. The entertainers plan to sign off sites including Facebook and Twitter starting Wednesday, which is World AIDS Day, and will not sign back on until the charity raises $1 million.
How am I ever going to know what eczema treatment to use?
Other celebrities taking part are Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Elijah Wood, Serena Williams, Janelle Monae and Keys' husband, Swizz Beatz.
For the campaign, the stars have filmed "last tweet and testament" videos and will appear in ads showing them lying in coffins to represent what the campaign calls their digital deaths.
"It's really important and super-cool to use mediums that we naturally are on," Keys told the Associated Press.
