Does this make any sense to anyone else?

So Lady Gage, Alicia Keys, Usher, and a bunch of other celebrities are not logging into social networking sites until $1 million is raised for a certain charity. Article below:

Now, I think it's a great cause and all but it seems like these stars could earn more for the charity by posting on their damn Twitter accounts and reaching millions at a time. Just doesn't make sense to me. Seems like it would be easier to just have them tell people about the charity using social networking...

The campaign is getting a lot of attention, I think it will work.

f@ck them, they could just donate the money themselves and have a nice tax write-off

LOL...stupid idea. Makes me hate all of them even more.

It appears the organizers of a Hollywood campaign to raise money for AIDS in Africa either overestimated the popularity of the celebrities they used -- or what their fans would be willing to donate to get them back on Facebook and Twitter.

The nifty campaign by Alicia Keys' "Keep a Child Alive" charity launched on Wednesday (World AIDS Day), declaring that Hollywood would die "a digital death" until a casket full of cash was raised.

"The world's top celebrities are sacrificing their digital lives to give real life to millions of people affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India," the campaign states. "That means no more Twitter or Facebook updates from any of them. No more knowing where they are, what they had for dinner, or what interesting things are happening in their lives. From here on out, they're dead. Kaput. Finished."

Celebrities including Ryan Seacrest, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Serena Williams, Justin Timberlake, and Elijah Wood all took part in the campaign -- many posing "dead" in caskets for the cause and recording video statements before their figurative demise.

The organizers promised that when fans donate more than $1,000,000, "everyone will be back online and tweeting in no time."

As of 7 p.m. EST, however, just $70,000 had been donated -- meaning unless Seacrest's fans come up with $930,000, the "American Idol" host and the rest of the "dead" celebrities won't be tweeting for the foreseeable future.

It's for the Jonathon Winters campaign, read about this yesterday in the BOSTON GLOBE

i am w you 100%. these idiotic liberal celeb's kill me...they together could donate ea a million buck's that these fan's ALREADY PAID TO THEM, but this is not good enough for them, they want US , or their fan's to give even more of their money which many probably can't even afford to give in the first place..

what about american's w aid's? i would donate to our own cause first instead of to some of these other countries first...
