It was approximately one week ago that millions of people were told that Charlie Sheen was hiring a marketing intern to aid Sheen with his online social networking; this buzz came as a result of a tweet on Charlie Sheen’s Twitter account that turned out to be nothing more than a Twitter endorsement for Internships.com.
The national media took to the story of Charlie Sheen’s detain and the word spread like wildfire which only gained sheen more of a following and achieved more click-trough via Sheen’s endorsement tweet. A click-through is every time an important person clicks on the link on Sheen’s tweet. Many companies, organizations and websites are now paying celebrity and highly follow people on twitter to promote their product or service, and the more people that click on that endorsed link, the additional money that celebrity or extremely followed people will earn.
Internships.com refuse to comment on just how much Charlie Sheen earned as a result of redistribution the endorsement tweet on Twitter.com. They did corroborate that it was the uppermost paid tweet in the past and that can only lead us to consider that Sheen’s earnings are in excess of $50,000 since that was the preceding record earnings for an endorsement tweet based on compensation for a specified amount for each click-through.
Charlie Sheen and Internships.com said that Sheen’s intern would be announced by March 12th, 2011 and to no surprise there was no mention of which Charlie Sheen’s intern is. This just tells us that indeed this was not anything more than an advertisement that Sheen posted via twitter because of his high quantity of followers and he never had intention on hiring an intern to begin with. Having such a obviously high following, who would think that he would want someone to get him more followers anyways, he is doing a good enough job at this on his own.
Perhaps Charlie Sheen should employ a big shot to get him out of the hole that he is digging with this highly buzzed hoax? This story is once again taking Charlie Sheen from Hollywood Fame to Hollywood Shame as the most important Hall of Shamer.
