Are you tired of Charlie Sheen stories?
Good news… we found some celebrity news worth celebrating.
Ashton Kutcher, the guy behind MTV’s Punk’d along with his actress wife Demi Moore are using their celebrity status’ to fight for a worthy cause. They are the brains behind the fittingly titled “Demi & Ashton Foundation.” DNA is focused on putting an end to child trafficking and sex slavery.
Believing that freedom is a basic human right, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher founded The Demi and Ashton Foundation (DNA) to raise awareness about child sex slavery, change the cultural stereotypes that facilitate this horrific problem, and rehabilitate innocent victims.”
The husband and wife duo is also behind a controversial series of public service announcements made in support of their campaign.
Most of the PSAs feature a male celebrity who humorously acts out what “real men” do before the tagline “real men don’t buy girls.” Justin Timberlake, Sean Penn, and Kutcher himself are all among the leading men.
All of the videos can be seen on YouTube.
Critiques of the campaign have claimed the videos make light of the issue. Others say DNA are simply missing the point.
This is what happens when celebrities do an issue divorced from the movement. Once you chose an issue and don’t do it in collaboration with people who have been doing this for a long time, this is what you end up with.”
Do real men need to back off the issue?
