Kutcher's millionth follower will star in a future EA Game!

Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) currently has 912,624 followers, 3 days ago he only had 850,000 and he challenged Twitter users that if he reached 1million users before CNN or (@cnnbrk) who has 945,903 followers now, that he'll "ding dong ditch" the billionaire Ted Turner who is the founder of CNN. Video clip here:



The very next day Larry King gets involved threw down the challenge with these words: "Do you know how big we are? Do you know what CNN is?!"

King promises to take on any challenge from Kutcher and will even try get him and Turner in on his show, video below:



@EA or Electronic Arts then tweeted out that for the millionth user they will put into The Sims 3 and that the follower will receive every game that EA makes this year. Nice publicity stint by EA to join in on this coverage...

The final interesting bit about all of this is that the CNN account (@cnnbrk) isn't even owned or run by CNN but rather by a James Cox - CNN how ever has now acquired this account from James for an undisclosed amount, read here for more.

Think I may unfollow @aplusk and watch it closely to drive be the millionth!
