Oh, my god.
As if things weren't bad enough.
251,287 secret state documents leaked to the press. The Korean War on the verge of breaking out again. The economy showing very little improvement.
And now this?
In an effort to raise $1 million for World AIDS Day (tomorrow), a number of the world's greatest minds are going on strike.
Yes, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Seacrest and…better sit down… two of the Kardashian sisters are removing themselves from all Twitter and Facebook activity until the goal of $1 million is reached. They're calling it the "Digital Life Sacrifice" and the picture above is from an ad promoting the campaign.
I know what you're thinking.
"Shades of Dr. Evil! They're holding us hostage until we pay the money. How can America get through the day without knowing what Kim Kardashian is having for breakfast?"
Somehow, a bunch of pseudo-celebrities think that the public is so hungry for their every tweet that it'll be willing to contribute its hard earned cash during the Great Recession.
You know what?
They're probably right.
Well, for the benefit of the charity, anyway, I hope they are.
But the ultimate result would be if America follows Steve Colbert's suggestion on the Colbert Report last night:
The donations should stop at $999,999.99.
Then we'd have the best of both worlds.
