Ashton Kutcher is a pretty cool guy. First he manages to get almost as many followers on Twitter as CNN (almost 900K). Then he challenges CNN to a race to see who can get to 1 million followers first. If he wins, he'll ""ding dong ditch" Ted Turner's house. Then, proving he's web-savvy, he uploads a video to his Qik page (embedded above), providing the following thought:
"It's just astonishing that one person can actually have as much of a voice online as an entire company on Twitter," Kutcher says while he is driving a car. "I just thought it was an amazing comment on the state of our media."
As he is on video, his PR agent calls and says that Larry King wants him to come on his show and talk about the Twitter challenge with Ted Turner. Aston's response? Why should he come on CNN's old-media show to talk about his success with new media and give them more viewers? Ted Turner should come on his Qik show instead.
"We'll post it on Twitter," Kutcher says of the potential Turner appearance on Qik. "We'll get Ted Turner to call in."
