There is something in his behavior which suggests not only a deep disrespect for his much older wife, but also for himself and women in general. Without doubt, I would think that everyone would agree that showing photos of your wife scantily clad online should not grant you any special kind of proclaim. However, Ashton Kutcher did. He became one of the most popular users of social media such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. His fan base began to grow rapidly after Ashton delighted his Twitter page followers by posting the picture of his wife. Since then, he keeps his fans regularly updated about their relationship. No wonder Kutcher’s fan-base skyrocketed from a mere 457,461 to 5,891,058 people.
Unfortunately, people love juicy stuff; you can’t get as many people to follow “malaria nets” campaigns and the fight to stop human slavery. And don’t get me wrong, these are great causes! Ashton is an intelligent guy, but may I suggest that “pimping” Demi Moore helped him to become the King of Twitter and subsequently land him on Time Magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people on the planet. In relationship to being on the list of 100 most influential people, Ashton twitted:
“Headed to the TIME 100 most inluential dinner meanwhile I can’t even influence houskeeping to restock my mini bar.”
Judging from his obvious typos, are we to assume that he alone stocked the beer he drank before he wrote that? It would behoove you to know that Ashton is also the producer of 12 different TV shows in the last five years. Does it bother you at all that he has the ability to influence the thinking of adults and children alike?
In an interview with ABC’s Cynthia McFadden, Ashton discusses his upcoming movie where he plays what he describes as a normal guy:
”It’s a movie about a guy fighting to be a normal guy, just a normal guy … I’m fighting the same fight. Social media for me and my wife is about saying to people, I’m a normal guy, I have my wife, we have a regular relationship.”[2]
In fact, he refers to himself as “normal” so much so that you get the idea that he has deeper problems he’s worried about. However, his definition of what he views as “normal” is quite different from the regular folks. His greatest “extravagance” is:
“Neither Demi or I cook. I have someone that cooks for me … that’s the best thing ever. I just want to show up and I want my house to be like a hotel … so I want to have a couple of options. … I like to have a couple of options.”
Help me with this, isn’t a hotel a temporary place where we play house? Not to pick him apart for everything he might say just for the sport of it (because I actually feel that he has lots of talent), it’s his cavalier way of taking for granted his relationship with Demi that makes me worried. But then it came clearly to me, it’s his childlike sense of humor that is always at the expense of others.
Take for instance Ashton’s show Punk’d, it is a perfect example of how he tends to treat relationships. Usually the victims are his friends, disproportionately women and he seems to get off on placing them in the most humiliating and revealing situations – for his own and other’s amusement. In these stress-inducing exposures at the expense of others, he seems to draw a certain (shall we say) sadistic pleasure.
Two things stand out here: a desire to use others for his advantage by disrespecting their privacy. Let’s explore this behavior a little. Some people might think that Ashton is merely ‘pimping’ Demi to further his own ambitions. For example, on December 4, 2009 the PopEater published an article about the couple’s so-called romantic flirting online.
