Celebs Make Pledge to Obama and Mankind

By Maggie at Maggie's Notebook

Demi Moore

A few weeks ago, some celebrities got together, made a video and made their pledge to do good and neighborly things.

Jason Bateman's pledge is to "flush only after a deuce and never after a single." An unknown young Black man (unknown to me - I'm sure he's wildly popular) pledges to consider himself an American and not an African American. Another pledges to sell a culture of intelligence instead of a culture of ignorance.

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, (husband and wife) pledge to fulfill the "200 year old promise to end slavery," "the abolition of 21st Century slavery" and "to free one million people from slavery in the next five years."

Moore and Kutcher end the video with: I pledge to be a servant to all mankind and to our President.

These are just a few of the pledges. I think some are excellent and worthy, some full of self-absorption, some predictable and at least one hilarious. The problem is, Hollywood doesn't realize that most of us practice the worthy ones every single day, and never give it a thought - would never considering making a "pledge,"...because it just isn't necessary.

If you've seen this video, scroll down to find out what comes next, because something definitely comes next.




Big Hollywood says that Moore directed and Kutcher "starred." The central theme of the video is being more neighborly and knowing and helping your neighbors, and it ended with the duo pledging their "service to all mankind." Here's the rest of the story:



Ashton Kutcher

So Ashton is awakened one morning recently, about 7:30 a.m., somewhere in the Hollywood Hills, by construction from the repair of his neighbor's home.

The following, says Big Hollywood, is some of Kutcher's tweeting:

“this SOB owl feces cougar placenta jack bone dick!”

“Jack ass 7am building a goddamn fort next to my house f’in up my view and noise polluting the entire f’in neighborhood with pounding steal”

“holy moly I’m gonna lose it!”

“this ass clown has another thing coming!”

“I’m gonna kill my neighbor”

Video seen here.

Big Hollywood tells an interesting story, coming from the LA Times: something about the house Kutcher lives in taking about 10-years to complete, and the neighbors just sucking it up. Read the entire store there's more. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot: there's something about Demi referring to Kutcher as "calm and gentle baby." Can that possibly be true?

Demi and Kutcher caught my attention with their mission to free slaves. I know a little about bonded slavery around the world and it heartbreaking. I also know that Hollywood, and feminist organizations, have turned their backs on the slaves that we are most familiar with, at this moment in time. I'm speaking of the freeing of Muslim woman and girls, and boys too. The fact that thousand of girls are now attending school in Iraq is one way we have freed the slaves of Saddam Hussein. Women everywhere in Muslim countries need our help...but that's a conservative issue - not at all attractive to these free and unencumbered American women.

This idea of ending slavery, and I assume they mean around the world, is a good one. We need an "example," and I'll be watching Demi and Ashton to see exactly what they do about freeing 21st Century slaves. Maybe we can all follow their example.

  1. Our "elite" pledging allegiance to the "Golden Calf" that they worship.

    Unquestioningly will they serve this half-as**d "fuehrer." We are sure to see them making every and all sacrifices called for by this as yet half-baked office-holder and his demanding wife--belt-tightening, cutting way down on unnecessary luxuries, tending to the less-fortunates of the world.

    Finally, their guilt at being white and not descendants of slaves (at least in recent memory) can be assuaged (even though the object of their adulation is not descended from slaves, has slavers in his ancestry, and is associated with the only belief-system that today still condones slavery).

    But then, being a performer cannot be equated with political astuteness, superior intelligence, nor common sense.

  2. And meanwhile Obama has the thermostat jacked up to an orchid growing temperature in the Oval Office (read entire White House).

  3. Now why would I ever listen to a bunch of wacked out drug users. These people are only interested in the publicity that they get. They have no education, no intelligence and most are either too stoned out or too drunk to really care about anything.

  4. Beautiful and thoughtful blog. Nice to know we're not alone. Thanks for helping get the word out. I'm new to your blog, having come across it as I was researching this unbelievable video that came out of Hollywood. I will plan to visit often.
