The $10K Tweet

Posted by marymcknight On December - 30 - 2009

kim-kardashian-playboy-december-2007When it’s simply not enough to release a raunchy sex tape, try becoming a true Twitter Whore and selling out for 10,000 per tweet to advertisers like Bumpit and Shoedazzle. So, not only does this girl act like a shameless whore in real life selling out her family to reality TV, her body to Golden Shower Sex Tapes but now, even her Twitter page to sponsored tweets. What concerns me most is that she is clearly skirting the FTC laws that require bloggers to clearly label sponsored posts and endorsements.

Personally, I really can’t respect any advertiser that thinks the credibility and trust value of someone like Kim Kardashian warrants $10K per tweet.

Truth is, I’m not stunned. Anyone whose own mother pimps them out to Playboy and was actively involved in the release of raunchy pictures can’t have much moral fiber. Now, I am not calling her a retarded tramp, I’m just saying if the shoe fits, wear it and maybe make some money off a project like this… selling your “expert” advice on shoe suggestions to others at a monthly premium. Look closely, she’s not selling shoes per se… it is a subscription service to buy her advice on shoes. Let’s call a spade a spade here, maybe this girl is retarded because anyone who needs her help selecting shoes and agrees to pay $39/mo for said “advice” should immediately receive a call from Darwin himself with a really warm message that basically says, “WTF are you doing alive, never mind wearing shoes?”

Kim, Wake Up You Are a Twitter Whore!

  • Maggie - I couldn't agree more! This would be the perfect example if they did pursue it. Beyond the fact that I worry about anyone who would be swayed into purchasing anything Kim endorses, the rest of us have to abide by the law and clearly denote sponsored posts and Tweets. Socialites have to follow the law too, no matter how big their as is or how big an ass they are.
  • Amen--I could not agree more! This is the perfect case for FTC to use as an example of what happens to people who don't follow their guidelines--to let her get away with not disclosing on such a large scale is an insult to every other blogger/tweeter who takes it upon him/herself to disclose everything. If they do nothing, they are setting the tone for nobody to take the guidelines seriously.

    And I'm with you-any company that thinks paying her $10k for a tweet is too stupid to earn my money.
