Trent Reznor's Charitable Twittering Puts Fartbag Ashton Kutcher To Shame - Page 2
On the upside, it's nice to hear some celebs are using the blabbering-tool for the good of others. The NIN brainchild, Trent Reznor is using his twittering to help raise funds for Eric De La Cruz, the brother of CNN correspondent Veronica De La Cruz. Eric, who's only 27, is dying from a rare condition and needs a heart transplant. When Reznor heard about the efforts to help save Eric, he decided to get involved and used his Twitter following to raise donations for Eric. More from BNET:
But, as the De La Cruz family is learning, then there is the power of rock n roll. Trent Reznor, who is better known as Nine Inch Nails and who is currently on a revival tour, found out about Eric’s case and posted via Twitter and the Nin website an offer way too good to refuse.Donate money to Eric’s cause and you can hang out backstage with Nine Inch Nails during their tour. Over the space of about 48 hours, according to my sources as well as posts on Twitter, the group has raised around a quarter million dollars to help Eric’s chances of obtaining his heart transplant.
That amount is now in the $850,000 range and growing. Click on Trent's page to learn more about how to help Eric.
Now, it's no secret I would have had Trent Reznor's goth babies ('except he's now engaged, and well, I am married and beyond having bay-beh friends) so I guess you could say I am a bit biased. This however, does NOT mean I am wrong. Twitter (and yes Glosslip has an account in case you wish to follow our occasional tweets) is like any social networking tool, it can be used for good, like Trent is using it, or it can be used to annoy the hell out of people, like Ashton and Demi insist on doing.
The tool is only as good as the tools using it, and let's face it, Ashton is a complete tool. Also, I CAN'T wait until Demi's entire face and body collapse under the weight of all the plastic and botox she's injected into and she finally looks her age. We'll see how long Ashton hangs around for that nightmare.
Tick tock tick tock...Father Time awaits you Demi ;)
