Can someone please explain why Kutcher is famous? What exactly is his talent? I haven't been able to figure it out from anything in which he has appeared..­..

Why the #$$%@# does Twitter think I should give them the password to my email? Pleeeeeze.

That is optional..­. and it's good that you pay attention to this. I also never give out access to "my (email) people". Many applicatio­ns on many sites want to get to "your people" NO Way!

The guy you all dismiss with such contempt and self-right­eousness is successful­ly using what could be a meaningles­s blip-broad­caster to raise awareness and money for malaria prevention and treatment, and has set his sights on doing the same about human traffickin­g.

What did all of you nay-sayers accomplish over the past few weeks, or even over the past few years, or even over your current lifetime?

Seriously, anyone of you please come back with an answer for that. He is doing something with a great deal of social and moral significan­ce and making a big positive impact. What have you done?

He makes a ton of money. And Demi more than acts her age - she has the discernmen­t to recognize the envy behind this snarky put-down, and ignores the limitation­s small-mind­ed people seek to impose. Now THAT'S maturity!

Y'all come off sounding like a bunch of losers. I bet none of you even know how to sign up to follow him let alone find out what his efforst are about...

Twitter and Ashton have just changed Media & Cable Television forever, just like you tube, but in a different way.

Shouldn't this be on whogivesar­atsass.com ?

It was rigged.

Have Ashton read the news, and Anderson hook up with Demi, and try again.

Such a mature role model for one's children. Maybe now he can go in a 'grow a real beard with your peachfuzz' contest.

CNN was winning the entire time. Guess Kutcher fans mad one last push.

I don't object to ads. They're the price of doing business. Media outfits have to make money. Better they should get it from corporatio­ns than from me. But I despise ads that are tarted up to look like something else. It's insulting and offensive. Use a Twitter banner ad, or make us watch a little video intro if you must, but lose the MAN WALKS ON THE MOON headlines in your endless number of Twitter "stories." Better yet, give us a break and give Twitter a rest.

This man-boy has entirely too much time on his hand.

When you let a man-child with new toys beat you at anything, you need to seriously reconsider your network's strategy. Moreover, you need to ask yourself why you did it in the first place.
