Social Media users nationwide have come together for another
great cause. Recently it was all about Karen Klein who
was bullied by students on the bus she monitors. Indiegogo raised funds to send her on a
vacation and now has reached a remarkable $679,149(this has probably risen
already) with fifteen days remaining in the campaign. Now the tables have turned to superstar
Pitbull aka Lil' Chico, aka Mr. 305, aka Mr. Worldwide.
Pitbull recently linked up with Energy Sheets, a caffeinated Listerine
strip-esque product, and Walmart decided earlier this week to send Pitbull to
any Walmart in the US that received the most Facebook Likes by July 15. Luckily
for Pitbull, the Walmart with the most Likes on Facebook is in Kodiak Alaska! This has started
uproar of inquiries on Kodiak and its inhabitants as well as its wildlife.
Where the heck is Kodiak anyway?
HERE!
Pitbull is
being a really good sport about the contest and I'm actually excited to see
what he will do up there in Alaska with all the lions and tigers and bears, oh
my. Although I think he'll be safe because I don't think wildlife particularly
likes to eat dog (get it?). Pitbull is even inviting his friends to come along
for the trip which he will have to set up during his concert dates.
Of course, you can't have a contest with such a popular
artist (I say this with a grain of salt) without having numerous haters and
bashers. I sought out to find the funniest tweets and Facebook posts on the
subject at hand. Just remember some of these may not be suitable for all ages.
Mark Porter - Yes, Nobody Ever
is always so honest.
That's the spirit Mr. O'Connell; underdog
countries like Alaska really do deserve to be in the spotlight! I hear the weather in Alaska this time of year is
amazing. Kodiak residents will most likely have the time of their lives at the
even. This is a great opportunity for Kodiak, Alaska to grow and I can see some
tourism evolving because of Pitbull.
I'm not sure if
eating seal meat is legal but I sure wouldn't mind staying in a 5 star igloo
and having those bragging rights. I wonder if @Knicksfan has tried seal meat.
Now you're talking @MarcoFiorentino!I'm
realizing non-Alaskans don't really know much about Alaska besides that Sarah
Palin is from there and that Alaskans live in ‘igloos'. How about the beautiful Aurora Borealis, whales, and glaciers?
Walmart Kodiak takes the cake with this comment. Throughout
all of the unsupportive comments and tweets, Walmart Kodiak kept their head up
and even found humor in posts. I have to apologize for the silliness of some of
my fellow non Alaskans who are obviously not wilderness savvy. Does American
society really think a bear is going to attack Pitbull on his trip to Alaska
and that he'll be staying in an igloo?
I hope Pitbull is exiled to Kodiak so he can bring some
light to the motherland on how beautiful Alaska is. I love the internet and this
is just another reason why. Bringing Alaskans closer to the motherland is great
- all thanks to social
media. Where would you like to #ExilePitbull?
