How interesting is it that the Twits on Twitter are back. The fabulous Celebrities vowed to stay off all social media until $1,000,000.00 was raised to fight AIDS. What they didn’t count on however, was that raising the money in a short period of time would not occur as they had thought. As usual these Celebs feel that all they have to do is say "jump" and their minions would simply say, "how high". I guess this time, they were wrong. These celebs didn’t realize that the ones they are asking to donate are having a hard enough time keeping food on their own tables let alone a roof over their heads. Donating to keep these rich fabulous ones happy just isn’t in the cards this time. The real issue here is not raising money for AIDS, it is the usual, self-serving Celebs trying to show the world how important they are. Obviously this time, it did not work. So, what happened, a rich person decided to donate aprox. $400,000.00 to enable the $1,000,000.00 needed to bring back the Celebs to our social media world. All is good in the world now – right? What is absolutely disgusting however, the true reason why they are back is not because they so desperately wanted to raise the money. These Celebs who participated could have easily reached into their own pockets for spare change and raised the amount needed. No, they were loosing too much money themselves by not being on the social media outlets. You see most of these people get paid to spew their wisdom. Some of these same Celebs who were holding their followers ransom get paid, in some cases $10,000.00 per Tweet – PER TWEET!. The truth is, because it was taking much longer than expected to raise the money, they were now loosing way too much themselves and felt, enough was enough. All it would have taken for the $1,000,000.00 to be raised was 10 Celebs writing 10 tweets each and donating their tweet money. Did they – I think not, they prefer us to give money we don’t have rather than they donate monies given to them to say they like a skin care product or some other useless item. Thanks Celebs, nice to know that being a TWIT on Twitter means more to you than not only the worshippers you have, but the charity you covet with such heartfelt cries.
